I had absolutely no clue of what a shavette was. I just Googled it. So here are my questions: I'm going to buy my girlfriend a straight razor for Christmas. She's never used a straight razor and neither have I. Would a shavette be a better way to go as opposed to a Boker King Cutter? Will a shavette give her just as smooth a shave? Can a shavette be used in identical places as a Fusion? From what I've learned so far (not a whole lot, but I'm still learning), underarms can be tricky with a straight razor. Would a shavette work on her legs and underarms?

The benefit of a Boker King Cutter is she loves antiques. When she saw my brand spanking new straight razor about a week ago, she was intrigued by it, especially its history. I told her that her grandmother probably shaved with one, which piqued her interest all the more. So if she tried straight razor shaving and decides it's not for her, she can display it among her numerous antiques.

My girlfriend is all about convenience, which is why she loves her Fusion. But she might change her mind were mind with the right straight razor if it gives her smoother shaves. On the other hand, I don't think she cares about smoother shaves as much as she does about convenience. And in colder months when she can wear pants more often, she's prone to cheating until hair on her legs is obvious. She is not in to au naturel, thank God. But she will cheat if she can.
