WTT: looking for Derby "shavette" blades

**RichGem** · 08-01-2008, 11:14 AM

Hi All,

I'm looking to trade for some Derby-brand shavette-style blades... the single edge blades made by Derby that look like snapped-in-half Derby DE blades. I'm thinking of a purchase, but want to try them out first.

I'd offer in trade Derby DE blades or IP DE blades.

Thanks in advance!

Just curious: what's wrong with snapping the DE blades in half and using those?

Nothing really, except that I can never seem to get a smooth/unbent break outta my blades and wanted to see if a "factory edge" made a difference with my shave.

Don't snap them. I cut mine with a sturdy pair of scissors, this does away with that horrible crimped edge which stops them lying flush in a shavette.
