First Time With a Shavette
So, at a gathering of friends last night, I was surprised to be gifted with a shavette, Derby blades, a mug, and an Arko stick. today, therefore saw me shaving both face and noggin with same. Quite an interesting experience compared to using a straight razor. I managed to avoid drawing any serious blood-flow, despite my inexperience and lack of practice recently. Beastie was a little slippery in my hand but, once I got used to the thumb notch, that straightened out easily enough. Going to give it a shot again in a few days, but I have one question . . .
When storing it, should I leave the clamp portion which secures the blade in the "open" position? It seems like doing so would be best as it relieves the tension until needed. I would think that leaving it closed might cause the system to wear out sooner. Thoughts?
