    For the standard DE Feathers are very good. My preference is Astra superior platinum. You may have to hunt eBay for Valet blades at a reasonable cost.

    You have to know the length needed first. Somebody might come along that has one and knows but easy to measure. Nice haul. I''l race ya to the W&B :<0)

    ummm okay I thought you ment the shavette. I would think any de would fit the other and that would be a hunt you have to go on yourself. Very few in here know what the best is :<0) I prefer Dubl Duck blades but that is because I have only used mine once.

    Thanks guys... I read somewhere that i can use the feather de for the gillette safety razor and that feather makes razors that will fit the valet... I am assuming that the long single edge feathers will fit in the shaverette, it is made in japan! And yes! I am going to get that W&b tomorrow for sure

    I've read that Feather does make a blade that fits the Valet, but I don't have any first hand experience with it.

    Any DE blade will fit in the flair tip. You can pick up a pack of blades at some pharmacy's if you're in a rush to try it out.

    5 Feather Single Edge Blades

    here's what will fit your Valet Autostrop razor, also Connaught shaving carries them I think they are pretty sharp just like their DE blades. Nice haul by the way.
