Thread: New Shavette(very close to a real straight)

This is my new Shavette, this is very close to a real straight(traditional) to my opinion. The feel, the shave, the forgiveness and the post shave. Here's some pics
The blades who came whit it(10) are very good to, very pleased whit the results of the shaves so far.

Which blades does it use?

What brand is that? I can't quite see the logo.

I suspect it's a Chinesse brand, anyway they are good for my face and they are double edge. Here's few pics
It all came from AliExpress.

I'm on my 5 shaves on 1 side of the blade and I'm pretty sure that I'm still good for another 3 or 4 shaves. Very good blade for my face anyway

I went to the website of Ali Xpress and found something remarkable similar called the Lyrebird. Link -> https://www.aliexpress.com/item/Lyre....7e7d8f5QlpDAM However, it does look like your shaver takes the longer blades similar to the DOVO Shavette that use the Merkur long blade. Is that correct?

Funny.... I also found a razor that is a complete look alike, DE adjustable, to the Merkur Futur that I have (2 ea) Have a notion to buy one to compare since it is only $6.45 a piece with free shipping from China (bought 1 ). I'll keep looking to see if I can find a name for that razor.

UPDATE: Believe I found what that razor is called: Strong Leopard. It has a holder that takes a 63mm that is 16mm tall, break in half = 8mm appx. blade, and the Feather A.C. blades are 50mm X 8mm (for the most part) link: -> 77 A barber hair cut razor hair tonsure knife High Quality, Replaceable blade razor Double blade shaving+10 razor blade-in Razor from Beauty & Health on Aliexpress.com | Alibaba Group

Yep that pas the one, verry good indeed 14 shaves on one blade.

The blade in the picture looks like it is a longer blade than a DE blade. Is it longer (wider) than the normal DE and more like the Merkur blades used in the DOVO shavette?

Just an update those blades are double edges but they doesn't fit in a DE razor, there similar of The Feather Artist straight(shavette). For my face they are perfect very sharp and very comfy, I'm very impress whit the shaves they got me.

They are cabinet blades, there are around 4 to 5 different types.
