Thread: new article about the Shavette

Shavette - Straight Razor Place Wiki

It isnt finished yet.. I just wrote the article to answer some questions that keep comming back in the newbie corner.. as I still consider myself a newbie and I started out with a shavette I thought I'd give it a go on the wiki

Please feel free to add comments (correct the spelling or make it more readable) /delete parts where you think I'm completely wrong
I will add some put some pictures on there as well..

Thanks,

Maarten

Nice article. I haven't shaved with the Shavette but I have tried a Weck which is a replaceable blade razor from the old days. Personna makes blades for them among others. The same pros and cons apply IME.

Well written, very concise.
I've never used a Shavette, so I can't comment on the contents, except that it all makes perfect sense to me.

Keep up the good work,
Bart.

Hey Maarten,
I believe there are 3 different holders- see: DOVO Straight Razors

I would certainly put the "light weight" issue in the downsides section. That was the main reason I upgraded to "big boy" straights early in my straight career.

Nicely done intro though. Thanks a lot!

Thanks a lot kenneyty,

I've corrected the third blade holder... I already had the light weight in the "The reasons not to buy the shavette" I tried to put it in the downsides but couldnt really fit it in (if you can please do)
