Are these a "thing?" I'd never seen or heard of 'em until I saw this thread: https://theshaveden.com/forums/threads/what-shavette-did-you-use-today.65147/ Is there a niche in our hobby for "guarded" shavettes? Are there good ones and bad ones out there? Which guarded shavette is the favorite of the Shave Den members? - Bax
The Weck Sextoblade is about it for razors with built in guards. That format is dead. There are also some DE blade shavettes that cover the corners of the blade, but aren't really a guarded razor per se. The modern solution is to buy an artist club blade compatible razor and buy the guarded blades for it. They are essentially training wheels for the unguarded blades. The best is the Tedalus, with Kai and Feather in a distant 2nd place (imo, YMMV). Clones of the Kai razors can be found for as little as $10, so it's not expensive to try out that blade format. Blades are about $1 each though.
