Do you have any idea how the guarded blades shave? It's very common to read posts in the various forums from people who were disappointed in a barber's shave and I would like to give a shave that is comparable to what I am able to give myself with a straight.
That's an interesting point. Since the blade is the working part of a disposable razor, does it make any difference at all who makes the handle? Does anyone know if the Shavette takes Feather blades? If the Shavette takes long blades, who makes them? I don't recall ever seeing Dovo disposable blades.
My barber here in Italy told me that you could use an autoclave but that it's just too much hassle for the (small) number of shaves he does. My gut feeling is that, if one where to specialize in wet shaves, it might become practical to use a real straight razor like a Wapienica or other all-steel razor. So, I'm going to experiment with both.
