Ah, yes.... complacency is always lurking in the shadows, waiting to teach us a lesson lol.

Cut from this morning, during my first go round with a shavette. Just put the blade straight onto this spot. I finished the shave, though! Attachment 266748

Same thing I learned from my first real cut from a straight... pay attention! And don't put the edge straight down onto the skin!

ATTA BOY! :tu

Try filing down the corners of the blade just slightly with the file in your fingernail clippers. That saved me a lot of blood.

Hmmm---You must of just recently discovered this 'trick' in the last 4 days as you'd posted here about your cut only 4 days ago! :thinking:

Good answer!! But those cuts were with a straight not a shavette. I just transitioned.

To me, Shavettes are scary. Too sharp and flimsy. Sharp corners.

I had just as well use a DE blade between my fingers. Just me.

don't be picking on my Feather RG it will keep your attention right where it belongs,, must be why I don't get many cuts from a regular straight, but yes shavettes are brutal if not watched Tc
