I have shaved with straights exclusivley now for about a year and a half. But I had been running into problems with them only staying sharp for 4-6 shaves and then having trouble sharpening them. Anyways, this past month I sold all of my straight gear, and while it was hard to part with I had been finding that all of my really good shaves come from a DE. They are easier and better shaves. The straight shaves were a little more comfortable, but never as close as a DE.
Anyways now that I have been using my slant every shave for the past couple months, I decided why not try a shavette? It's a double edge blade on a straight razor and I did like shaving with a straight I just did not always have the results I wanted. So I bought one off of Classic shaving.
It is the tourtise handled one for 26.99. I figured, if I don't like it I am not out that much money and if anything it could be used as a travel razor. What do people think of these things, are they any good? I bought the one with the red insert for half double edge blades. I read a couple good reviews on it, just wondering what people around these parts thought.
