Thread: Shavette vs straight

Good evening,

I'm recently fedding up with my straight razor. I'm used to my old cheap chinese slicke shavette and it seems to shaves 10 times more comfterable than my straight. I can get a really good shave combined with personna blades. With my straight I can also get a BBS result, but during the shave it takes much more effort.

I've tried to eliminate any other factors like lathering, stropping, honing (it has been send to two different honemeisters) and technique (no pressure). So my blade should have been shave ready.

My question is:
Is it possible when you are used to your shavette the straight seems to be a bit dull?

Has anyone experienced the same like I do right now?

Thank you very much for your answers!
