I started shaving with the wilkinson sword shavette the other evening with a derby blade and have to say while I eventually got a reasonable shave it takes alot of time to get a reasonable shave the same yesterday evening only worse. I'm a firm believer that the blade is what causes a bad shave not the razor so next time I'm going to try it with the Wilkinson sword blade which is a very good safety razor blade. I hope it works because I like the technique for shaving with the shavette.

I've looked at shavettes a few times. I finally gave in to temptation and ordered one. I have two straight razors that need honing. I need to get them honed one of these years. Since the last straight attained an unusable sharpness level, I've been alternating between wearing a beard and shaving with a safety razor. Most recently while wearing a beard I've been shaving my neck with an electric razor, with less than ideal results. I'm looking forward to trying a shavette. I'm not sure if I'll just use it on my neck, or if it will inspire me to go beardless.

geofatboy exactly! I actually don't use fresh blades in mine but what can I do instead as I use the blades from my safety razor that are too dull to work for that but they still work perfectly fine for another 5 shaves or so in my shavette because by design the shavette is going to be much more aggressive anyways. So I can really stretch out the useful life portion of double edge blades that way if I want and they still give a great shave whenever I switch them over to the Shavette

Thanks Geo, I find it helps to have at least 2 shavettes to provide somewhere safe to store the second half of the DE blade. It's not really worth stocking up on SE blades if you already have a variety of DE blades and there's much less choice in the SE market. Overall blades seem to last longer as less passes are required. In the UK the shaving shack have a few very affordable and manly designs in pure stainless steel no chrome or plastic and I am very happy with them and sometimes they give them away free on bigger orders. I found plastic handled ones like Bluebeard's Revenge (Dreadnought in US) don't have enough weight or a satisfying feel. I need to go careful and so not something I have time to do everyday but makes a nice change from my safety razor rotation. I watch these videos as even though I am happy with stainless steel ones it's always tempting to expand the collection and try something new but sometimes I find that the tools I buy just aren't as good in any way to the ones I already have. I've heard a lot of bad comments about Parker quality and the chrome on this seems unnecessary so will give this a miss. Maybe I will be able to pass my stainless ones down to my sons eventually.

Hi Geo. Guys in my family always had a thick and strong beard. So shaving machines doesn't really do much to me, and I always used disposables, which doesn't give me a close shave (you can see light dots right after, even after several passes, and next day you can clearly see the dots a meter away). It was always fine for me, but now I'm growing a beard for the first time in my life, and when I do my neck line with a disposable and you see the dots the day after it's a bit ugly... So I was thinking about an straight razor to do my neck line and shape the beard. Several things: would a straight razor give me a very close shave so that my beard is well shaped at least for a day or two? Also, given that I'm a total beginner and by now I'm growing a beard it will take time for me to master well the technique, still a good idea? Finally, I love the dovos, I guess stainless steel makes much more sense than carbon nowadays (any good advantage for carbon?), Thanks a lot!!!

The best way to "train" for a Shavette is to become comfortable with a double edge safety razor. Once you get the angle down, and trust that the weight of the razor is all that you need, you can transfer that mojo over to the Shavette and have success.

Hi, Geo. Thanks for another fine tutorial. Just wondering why you do not follow shave pattern of 14 stroke shave taught in barber schools, depicting typical beard growth patterns, versus your own pattern which, thank you, was the pattern I followed for the first 18 months of my straight-razor shaving campaign that began 2 years ago. As for the SRX, I wonder if you think, like I am beginning to think, that because of the length, heft and unwieldiness of this product (despite having pretty big hands) it is best used by a barber on a customer versus one shaving oneself with it. I find the length obstructs the view of my face and that the SRX is difficult to control in tight spaces. It is rare I cut myself any more, but this unit is unforgiving as hell when it does cut. I wonder if you think the smaller, lighter, 5.75" Parker SRW is better for shaving oneself than the SRX. Thanks, Geo. Semper fi, my brother.

The SRX is heftier and a bit more expensive. You can get a great shave from either one, so base it on your budget and your eye appeal since you are the one that gets to shave with it every day. If money doesn't matter go with the SRX

I now have started to get RB every time I shave. I don’t know what to do. I use barely any pressure, feather blades. Nothing works. Also, I can’t seem to shave everyday because of my stubble. I start bleeding around my jaw line. I’m at a loss and don’t know what to do.

Hello Geofatboy, you are the best, as always. I have a question. If somebody is able to shave with shavette, which is nothing but a blade, without any protection, why do people talk so much about DE razors, about mild/aggressive, because if you can use shavette, you can use the most aggressive razor without any problems, because it is very close to the most aggressive razors, and it is up to you (your pressure) if you will go deep in your skin or be in the surface, no matter how much the razor of the razor blade is exposed. Am I right or did I miss something? Of course that with the mild razor you almost can't cut yourself, but if we talk about the aggressive DE razors and shavette, they are the same to me.

I`ve always wondered, why does one put the handle UPWARDS when using shavettes and straight razors? Is it just to see what you`re doing or is it a balance thing too? I thought maybe the weight of the handle might press the blade onto the skin or something, but not having tried either style of razor (yet), I thought I`d ask :)

This would make a nice addition to your Dovo shavette since it's heavier and all metal.

This razor looks incredible, I love safety razors and I want to try a straight razor. Is there a risk of accidently cutting the jugular part of the neck with this razor ? Or is the risk low to almost nonexistent ?

So I have one more question, I am 16 years old. I have thick chin hair and descent sideburns. I am to the point where I need to shave my chin every day. I don't have money or access to things like the shaving cream and brushes and things that you would use. My parents wouldn't buy any of that. What would you recommend that I do for shaving prep? I have canned shaving cream and a bar of soap. I saw your cold water shaving video. Would shaving with cold water be a good idea for me? With limited resources what should I do?

Do you leave the cream to dry or do you wipe the excess lather from bowl if that makes sense! Because I lathered like this ontop the cream and not sure if I should clean or just leave to dry
@geofatboy
@geofatboy 2 жыл бұрын
I let it dry then rinse the dried soap and bloom the soap with water before my next shave.

Nice video + review. Thank you. Question for Everyone...... Can you guy chime in on DE vs Straight Razor. I like a BBS Shave, don't have alot, or long, thick facial hair, but I have to do SEVERAL passes in all detections to accomplish, no matter the angle head or type of blade. I'm 45 years old, + currently using a Razorock Game Changer with both agle safety heads... .68 + .84 with Soap Commander Honor Shave Soap. I have sensative skin and I get BBS, but it almost too much for my skin to handle. Pretty sure my hair just grows in at all angles + lays down. ??? I'll probably give this a go anyway down the line n see but wanted your guys opinions., since you definitely will know more than me. Thank you all in advance. 👍

I felt the same about my first safety razor shave. Made friggin' hamburger out of my head. Honestly. Murder-scene bleeding. You get better with use. With each subsequent shave, I found that I lost less and less blood. LOL

I am confused. As far as I know the brand Shavette is owned by Dovo Solingen and is used for their straight razors with changeable blades. There are numerous other straight razors on the market by other companies that also use changeable blades but are not called Shavettes, because that’s a brand name by Dovo.

May be so but its the same reason people call tissue Kleenex and used to call a copy a Xerox. There are lots more examples but certain products take on other product names.
