Thanked: 15I've never used a shavette, so not sure. I would imagine that it would work fine, as they are used for shaving by lots of folks. I do own a Feather and it works well and would do the job very well. The blades are more expensive then those for the shavette.
Perhaps start wth a shavette since it's not a huge investment and see if that meets your needs. If not you can always drop the $$$ for the Feather and blades.
Hope that helps.

Thanked: 15Yes and no. The feather is a very sturdy and expensive disposable straight, where as the Shavette is a much less expensive. Again, never having used or much less seen one in person, I couldn't say, but the cost difference alone says it all. The least expensive Feather is $89.00 and the most expensive is $249.00. A Shavette is what ~$30.00?

Thanked: 0seems like i shouldnt even bother with these since no one has really commented on them, i thought it would be a good neck shaving, and styling, outlining tool.

You mean like this? I thinks the shavette might not be the best if you want extreme detail. It has a plastic holder for the razor blade that you slide inside the shavette and I don't think you'll get in close enough to do details like in the video here :
YouTube - Learn how to cut hair. Tutorial #3
I think you should try something like this razor here..
NEW CHANGEABLE BLADE Black STRAIGHT RAZOR USE 1/2 BLADE - eBay (item 360102685674 end time Nov-23-09 13:15:26 PST)
It's only $4.99 and there is no thick plastic edge holding the blade making detail work difficult.
When that is said.. I did use a Dovo Shavette for 3 or 4 months before I started shaving with a proper straight razor and it is a fine product if you want to shave a face or a head. But maybe not the best for a hair cutters detail work.
Just my opinion.
