Not very attractive, is it?

Except for saving some money on the first try before committing to a straight razor, I don't see much point in this type of shavette.
Many of them were designed as hair sharpeners and adopted as razors by wet-shavers looking for a low-cost alternative to a traditional straight razor.

Even though they may be easier to find; for me using DE blades removes one of the main attractions of a classic straight razor - the long edge - and shavette weight and balance are all different.
I did try the DOVO shavette that can take longer blades, but even that did not appeal to me despite getting reasonably good shaves.


What works well for me is the Feather AC system, but that comes at a price that one can buy a decent straight razor for - hence any money aspect disappears and only the convenience of a (travel) straight razor that doesn't need stropping or honing remains.

My apologies for raining in on the parade; this is only my opinion and I wish everyone well who truly likes shavettes.
