Thanked: 6Help with a disposable blade straight
I just purchased the following razor on ebay.
FEATHER STYLING - Cut Throat, Shaving Razors CBU+BLADES - eBay (item 140240704063 end time Nov-08-08 15:38:40 PST)
It looks alot like a shavette but it takes a differest style blade. as shown here
BLADES FOR SANGUINE COOLCUT RAZORS, 2pack of 10 blades - eBay (item 150292156097 end time Nov-06-08 10:06:54 PST).
They look like injector blades but they are 2.4 inches long. does anybody know where i can get a blade to fit? mabey the feather artist club blades? how long are the feather blades? they look similar. thanks for any help.

Why not just buy the blades that are meant to fit into it? I doubt Feathers would fit in there without some trimming, but it could possibly happen. Judging by the design, perhaps Dovo Shavette blades would fit as well? You may have to break out the pliers and snap something off of them too, but I'm not sure. I guess my only advice is to buy the ones that were made to fit your razor, unless you know for sure that the others will fit. You don't want to break anything on accident.
If you want a straight razor-quality shave, and don't want to break the bank, there is an excellent alternative that I read about and have done ever since. I use trimmed Feather Professional Super's in my 1940's Injector, which works great. It's a less costly alternative to buying the actual Artist Club razor. The whole setup will cost you about 10GBP for 20 FPS blades and an old-school Injector on eBay. I'd recommend purchasing the blades from classicshaving.com. The service is excellent, the prices are great, and you know that what you're getting is legit.

Thanked: 6I lost my shavette about six months ago and am now starting to get back in to straight razor shaving. I bought this as a cheap replacement I think it cost me 15 bucks and came with 20 blades. But the just don't seem as sharp as a double edge blade. It takes a blade called a tondeo i think they are more for hair shaping. I have finnaly got my dovo shaving sharp so i don't really need it anyway. thanks for the reply.
