Ok im prepared to get blasted here with buy a real str8 , before you post it know I want a shavette .Ive done the whole strop thing 10 years ago and the whole process drove me back to the carts. Ive got a chin strap beard to trim and shape and one rough spot on my neck and this is all i want it for . I do want a nice shavette though that takes de blades . I have a hatred of plastic in my shaveden so Im looking for a all metal handle . First question is the parker sr1 and 31r same razor ? Comaprisons between dovo and parker shavettes? Ive also heard from another forum of some indian shavettes with some very nice ,engraved even handles ( still trying to track this down , I figured you guys would be the one that may know ) If anyone has pictures that would be awesome
