    it uses half/split de blades.i tried a Lord disposable shavette some time back.worked pretty good.,though it's hard to compute a closer or longer lasting shave. i get bbs with the same blade in a positive exposure de razor. skin surface is skin surface surely.

    Blooming is rapidly becoming the standard 'directions for use' by soap manufacturers, and why not? It uses up vastly more soap and makes people burn though soap faster. That's a win in their books.

    No different than selling 7 day sets of straight razors because you needed to "rest" the blade for 24-72 hours to "re-align" the edge (That's totally bogus, by the way).

    No need to apologize Ryan. I appreciate any contribution to this thread. You use different soaps and brushes,, so you might consider sharing your thoughts on them.

    I can only go by my experience. I believe that safety razors will only allow a short range of angles for an optimum shave while a shavette and a straight have a wider range that gives a closer shave because you can get shallower angles to the skin.

    I agree that the manufacturer's reason for owning a 7 day straight razor set is hogwash. Really, why would I want 7 identical straights? I prefer variety because it makes the hobby more fun.

    Thank you, gentlemen. As far as the possible Covid goes -- "so far, so good"... as the jumper said as he passed the 30th floor...

    But they aren't identical -- they have different days of the week engraved on their spines so they are all completely different... ;).

    when finances allow i will get one,it will be a cool "for a change" razor and skill to dial in,but i have no real interest in doing it full time.i like safeties for a reason..;),and i'm married to my brit collection.

    Makes perfect sense to me as a marketing strategy. Unlike "blooming", which has honestly never made any sense to me at all as a shaving strategy or technique...

    Gary, I have one of those Parker SRX heavy-duty stainless steel shavettes. If you PM me your mailing address, I will send it to you to play with. Actually, you might as well keep it. I believe I last used it in about 2017 and have no real intention of going back to it...

    Precisely. Although the "let them rest and air out" argument might possibly make a little more sense with undies...

    Ok John, technically you are correct. Lol!

    Well, I am glad you have an open mind about it.
