Thread: What shavette/disposable blade SR do you have?

I have a Dove shavette that I bought all the different plastic inserts to so that I have one for each blade type just in case.

just shaved with a feather for the first time. it is insane how good a shave i got out of that thing.

definitely have to get one of my own for my rotation.

Great photo! The Feather gives excellent shaves, I just cant decide if I prefer the DX or the SS. The DX feels better in my hand, but I feel ATG is easier with the DX since it's easier to lay flat against the skin than the rounded SS...

Feather AC SS non-folding. I've been shaving with DEs for two years but have taken the plunge since Christmas. I can quite easily see a DX in my future. For now I'm shying away from the upkeep of genuine straights.

Vanta RA 112, made in Italy, half DE blades..You can see how the corners of the blade are protected...

I have a cheap one i got from Sallys and a vintage Japanese one... I think it is for hair instead of face thou

I got a 'toe in the water' Dovo Shavette

I'm pleased with is for a cheap and cheerful tester. It's handy to learn the technique without also having a bad hone/strop etc work against you. I found the short blades a bit easier to handle than the long Dovo blades, it's nice to be able to swap and try them both.

A few times I have been thankful for the plastic guard on the trailing corner of the razor - helps if your learning and filleting your face isn't on your bucket list.

I was wondering how you get on travelling with razors? You guys don't get them taken off you at airports?

Also I can't seem to find a seller of Feather Shavettes in Australia (everyone sells the blades), if anyone knows one please let me know.

I recently bought a sanguine r5 shavette. I can't see a reason to use it with the CJB available. It did come though with nice wooden scales, a pack of Wilkinson blades and nice leather case. My CJB is the folding one but the kamisori also come predrilled with a 5mm hole. Some nail polish remover got the sanguine logo off the case in no time.




I do need to get some CA finish for the wood scales. But for less than $15 shipped i'm happy with that upgrade.

I'm learning with this.

Until today. The mail just arrived.
