    Sorry for the late reply or if someone beat me to it. Irving barber has a shavette that takes ½ DE blades, injector, and AC blades. I think Jared has one.

    I've owned a couple Wecks, shaved with them a few times, too.

    Personna markets new blades for "Hair Shapers" that give good shave. Check with your local Beauty Supply store.

    The blades are looong and stiff like an injector type but that could be the folded SE blade type spine. I've found I prefer to nick myself with the 1/2 DE blade shavettes. Same number of corners but a shorter working surface.

    Tip for those learning to use a Shavette; You can mute the corners of the blade. With a sharpening stone found in your kitchen, gently rub the blade corners at a 90 degree angle to round off. Those corners are what catches me the most and get the "bad set down" title with styptic treatment.

    Boris is way better at protecting things than my dog beagle is, she would unlock the door so random stranger can pet her if she could

    Just to follow up, Mark Knoepfler and Emmylou Harris do a lovely duet on So Far Away From Me. You can google it(them). I love Emmylou.
