Thread: Italian "Daune" fantastic transition razor from safety to straight

Yes, I've seen it it many Italian barber shop youtube vids. I was thinking of adding one to my arsenal, perhaps just for travel use. They are not very expensive, relatively speaking. I do however have quite a few straight razors and am comfortable using them but they are not the best for travel, post 9/11

Daune is an italian classic.
Head geometry from a DE razor.
Handle from a straight razor.
Full plastic with brass knob.

Mine is a full white replica, and I love it.

Just one thing is not of my likings, the weight.
Really light, but totally manageable.

So I grab the newer model, from the same italian family wich originally made Daune.

Razorine

Razorine is a DE Kamisori.
Full made of brass.
Weight is great, and balance is nice.
But I prefer classic western handle.

Today I've found on FB a perfect option for me.

Schiavarelli Daune Plus

Full brass, 100% handmade in Italy.
Handle in three different woods available:
• olive
• mahogany
• wenge
Some details are very nice.
Like the finger rest space in the part preferred by the user.
Or the flush machining of the locking screw.
The three-pin handle with reinforcement.
And in general the possibility of having an interaction with the craftsman.
