The razor is also for sale on Ebay. They have a photo with a blade loaded in it. WOW
No way. Too much blade exposed. I would think the blade would be floppy, and brutal.
If the blade snuggled up to the head more, I could live with that.

I can't stand it any longer. I have to try the DE/shavette. So, in one of many misguided shaving purchases, I bought one.
A review will be posted ...
+1 on the whole "not made in China" by the blades thing.

More genius! You've made me realise that once you've got the guardless baseplate, you can use any cap and handle combo you like.I may trim down the Yuma head and try it myself.
I'm banking on no blade flex since the part of the guard that sandwiches the blade to the cap is still intact - ha ha I'll let you know tomorrow morningI would be afraid of blade chatter. Also with no safety you have to really watch your angle!
Leaving the guard off one side makes a lot more sense as a design than leaving it off both sides.I absolutely love the idea of a guardless "safety" and dont know why I haven't heard of it and didn't think of it before! Really it's a shavette with the manouverability of a safety.
I kept the baseplate from a bakelite which I thought was broken actually it's ideal to experiment with for thisView attachment 531858
Good call!I see a pass around in the future ...
