I had never tried a shavette before, so I picked up an Irving Barber Company shavette about a year ago. They look really cool, but I regret to report that I cut myself so much on the first few attempts that I never picked it up again. I tried both half-blades and Feather or Kai shavette blades, too. I decided to stick with my collection of SR's and my Muhle R41 instead. It was almost "too sharp", if there is such a thing. Even my straights didn't ever cut me that much. YMMV, of course. Be careful!
