    Default Which is the best blade for straight shavettes?

    Hey gents, I was wondering which blade is the sharpest for using with a shavette, I've used derby, shark, and royal red, the differences were minimal nothing major, I was wondering if there was something better out there. Let me know guys

    I'm partial to Feathers or Personna Med Prep.

    Just like for de shavers, the list is long so try as many as you can. When I used it wilkinson sword and feathers were the ones I liked the most. YMMV.

    I'm pretty sure that the feather pro blades are the sharpest ones.

    I've tried a couple and the one that I prefer is the feather.

    I tried Feathers and am now using Wilkinson sword blades.

    While the Feathers are extremely sharp, I found them perhaps *too* sharp, if that's not a bizarre criticism to make. Admittedly I haven't shaved with a shavette for very long but I found that it was incredibly easy to cut into skin with them.

    I'm now using Wilkinson Sword blades and I'm finding them very good - still very sharp but more forgiving.
