Thread: Thoughts????????

I know it has a Wilkinson razor blade in it but for the cash it was I cannon't gripe!!!

Looks a little similar to a feather razor, how does it shave and does it keep the blade secure are the important questions.

I'm up on deck to use it in about an hour or so. I will let you know what I think as for the holding in place part it's solid as a rock!

Nice, at least you know the holding mechanics are of good quality. You don't need the blade scooting around while ATG shaving your neck.

It's not for me,,,but if you like it,,,, then that's all that really matters.

OK so...... I went against my better judgement and put a feather in and wow!! With my lack of experience with a shavette it looked like Freddy Kruger was in my bathroom!! As for what I did shave before I hacked myself to bits was very nice! So with more time and practice I'm sure it will be a breeze !!!

I tried the Shavette early on when I was thinking about going from DE to Straight. IMO it is harder to learn/master than either the "conventional" straight or the Feather/Kai/CJB.
It's just a different kind of sharp and no matter what you use the blade seems to flex in a way that for me was not helpful.

Every once and a while I think about pulling one out for a spin...and them I stop myself.

But you can learn and they do work, try something besides a Feather maybe.

Good luck and smooth shaving.

I have two SR and have used them without incident but this was of another world hahaha I just think about cutting and ouch there it was!!!!!!

Go back to your conventional straight and save that one for bar fights, lol.
