Cheap shavette - surprisingly good results
Well, after about ten years of shaving with straights and DEs, I finally got around to trying a shavette. Prior to this, my only experience with them was from the barber doing some trimming, but I decided the time had finally arrived...
So I hopped on ebay, and bought this bad boy:

I liked it because the blade had sort of feather-esque lines, although it has a flippy-down thingy for blade retention rather than the proper feather system. Also, I thought the scales were absolutely wonderfully tacky in the ebay pic, and they didn't disappoint. :) I may make some new ones for it some day, but am not in a rush to devote time and $$ to dressing up a $10 blade. And to be fair, they're not quite as hideous in person as they appear in the pic.
The transaction was surprisingly smooth with much quicker shipping that I had expected. Stuff from China can arrive here in ten days, three months, or never. This took about two weeks to arrive. Great communication and service from the seller too.
And the best part? It shaved beautifully! I threw in a blade from the first pack I saw in the shave den (Dorco), lathered up, and enjoyed a really nice smooth shave. I think I may have a new addition to my travel kit. :tu
