I am a long time DE shaver. I have ordered two (Parker SR1 and Bluebeards Revenge) and am just killing time until they arrive. Been reading a lot and watching Youtube. It seems there is the issue of the razor sharp edge of a shavette that occassionally causes some problems.

I read that some recommend starting with a Derby or other less sharp blade. Some say don't shave with the Shark blades that often come with the shavettes. I read on another forum that some run their freshly loaded blade through a cork just to take off the burrs and create a smoother shave.

Since I have not put blade to cheek yet...I am seeking the guidance of other more experienced shavette shavers...
