Thread: Are these any good?

My personal experience has been that those shavettes are harder to use than a real straight. I can grab any straight in my collection, regardless of grind, size, or shape, and get a great shave with no blood loss. I use a shavette, and I am lucky not to cut myself. I can't say I've put a whole lot of effort into shaving with them, a handful of times was enough for me really.

In the end though, it's only money. A good razor can outlast it's owner, and they hold their value well if you decide it isn't for you.
