Thanked: 983Ditto Bombay. You may already have a preference if you use DE's in you Shavette, but if you don't, then definitely get a 'sample' pack of a few different blades. As much variety as you can lay your hands on. That way you'll find a blade that both suits you face, and your razor.

Hi Kev, I occasionally use a shavette a Feather AC-DX and it's pretty lethal compared to a normal straight you need absolutely zero pressure to shave with anymore than zero when loaded with Feather Pro blades and it becomes a slicing machine it will eat your face up, there's a very good online shaving store I buy a few things from in Dublin called shaving.ie I'll leave you the link, and a picture of my SOTD using a Feather AC-DX with a Pro blade.

I'm using feather pro blades in mine at the minute. They seem to work well but I have no comparison. So I'll probably take your advice.

That's absolutely spot on Kev, and when you have been using a shavette for sometime the first thing you will notice when you step over to a traditional straight how much more important technique will play in delivering a good shave, it's almost like trying to compare a automatic car to a manual transmission a shavette almost shaves on auto pilot, you need to fly a traditional straight using manual controls.

Lathered up with some Proraso and took the DE for a spin last night for the first time.
I used a Lord Super Platinum blade, and aside from the Gillette being very small, it really gave a great shave, no nicks or cuts!!
Also, was very cool at how close and comfortable a shave it gave, can see using it more!
Downside is, I now have nothing to fear, but fear itself, and snakes....
