Which Shavette did you use Today?

Ya I know what you mean. I've also had some..unfortunate experiences..

What blades are you using? I've found blades really make little difference in a shavette.

 

I've used several Gillette Wilkinson Sword blades lately and for me they're better than the shark blades I've used in the past.

Today -I used Gillette Nacets-they're not as forgiving as Wilkinson Swords or Sharks, but are a lot smoother and sharper.

 

Works for me. I like that shavette lets me use up my DE stash of odds and ends.

 

Me too. I go on a blade bender every once in a while and use up the freebies I 've gotten with other stuff.

 

BTW-Williams is a good shavette soap-since it doesn't lather very richly without some effort, it's easy to keep a wet slick lather.

 

So is Barbasol.... Shhhh....!

 

I've got some-I'll try that.

 

I found one on eBay used in great condition for$ 12.75 shipped.

Charlie-

If you like GSB or whatever, I suggest getting a pair of cheap large scissors, and simply cut lengthwise. Scissors break DE easily. On the Magic, which is push to load, the bended method makes no difference, but on SRX types pre-cut or scissor cut is best. Next time I buy blades it's gonna be Astra and scissors.

 

@Pilotcld - put that in your notes.

 

It's how I use the DE stash. I got a pair of $2 office shears from the grocery and keep them in my bathroom drawer. Works like a charm.
