Thread: Shavette question

I just ought this cool little shavette. Its cheaply made no-name brand little shavette i bought at a chinese beauty supply store.

question is, what the hell kind of blades does it take? It only came with one. The blades look just likethe razor blades you would buy in a hardware store (No. 9 Blade) except its longer and more narrow.

Ill include pics when i get home. Any help would be great. Thanks

Without pics i am guessing, but they usually take a D/E (double edge) blade snapped in half as far as i am aware.

A picture would help, but some shavettes have custom blades that fit them. It is almost like they designed them not to take regular DE/SE blades...

And welcome to SRP! Read through the Library before shaving with it so you will have some idea on how not to cut yourself.

Oh ok thank you. Nice to be here.

And yes i have a regular shavette also. The one im talking about does not take the DE blades snapped in half

Dovo makes slightly longer blades for their shavette (it comes with multiple inserts so it can be used with that or with a half-DE).
If it came from a beauty supply, it might also use the Weck hair shaper blades - I think Personna makes these type as well.

Edit: here's a pic of the hair shaper blades:

There's shavettes and then there's Feather shavettes. Not even comparable.
