First time trying a shavette today. I look like I was in a knife fight and forgot to bring the knife 🔪

Great video I learned a lot from it. I just have a hard time shaving with a Shavette. I can shave with a straight razor and not cut myself but with the other I look like I have been in a cat fight. I feel like the Shavette is just to thin and that's why i'm cutting myself. O and fyi tuberculosis is a airborne disease it is contracted through air pathogens. It was HIV/AIDS that they were worried about. It wasn't just the blade but the strop that gets nasty. I read somewhere they took a strop from a barbershop that was still using them and did some test it came back with some nasty stuff on it.

I use both but prefer shavettes now. I love that I can just pop in a laser sharp blade whenever I feel a tug. I use a Feather AC SS. Lovely shaver! The strop doesn’t sharpen the razor. It only aligns the microscopic edge. The stones will sharpen.

Something that confused me in the video. Do you need to sharpen the blade every 7 shaves, or strop it every 7 shaves. From what I understand, stripping should take place before every shaves (potentially after as well), but a sharpening should last at least a couple months. (Let’s say 3 shaves a week, for 2 months =24 shaves, way above 7 shaves) Neither seems accurate with 7 shaves count

Before changeable blade razors barbers used autoclave and barbercide to clean razors .

You use very imprecise language in this video, which could be a source of confusion. A double edge razor is a device that holds a double edge blade. The blade is not a razor, it's a blade. So the barber who uses a shavette needs to put a new BLADE into the razor for each new customer, NOT a new razor. The shavette IS the razor. Strops don't sharpen a straight razor blade, they smooth it. Honing sharpens the blade. Stropping should be done both before and after each straight razor shave. Honing is done much less frequently.

After DE should one go for shavette or straight razor? Is it true that learning curve is higher for the shavette? What's better for hard facial hair and sensitive skin?

I would go with the shavette this way you don’t have to worry about sharpening. But both are the same learning curve.

I think shavette is one of the best razors in the world with replacement blades not only sanity but it gives perfect close shave where straight razors you need to do 2 pass to get close shave..i have 3 staright razors from dovo and 2 shavette razors mostly i use shavette because it feels so good and comfortable. I would say shavette razors are static .

You say inaccurate things and not very accurate. The straight razor doesn't always need to be sharpened every 2 or 3 beards! But the worst thing you said is that the shavette doesn't require any skill!! 🙉 The shavette, even if it doesn't need to be sharpened, requires different skills from the straight razor. In fact, there are many who don't know how to use it well and cut themselves!!☠️

Straight razors are far superior in my opinion. They need stropping every shave but only need a touch up on a sharpening stone every ten shaves or so depending on how coarse your hair is. One thing that wasn’t mentioned is the blade length on a straight razor is longer, which means pressure on the skin is more evenly spread out meaning less chance of nicks and cuts. The shavette to me is a cheap and easy way to learn the technique on how to use this style of razor.
@JeroenvanKleef

Nice and comprehensive comparison! Only when you show the strop, the movement you make is not what beginners (and i guess experienced) should do. Turning the razor over the spine instead of the cutting edge to strop prevents from accidentally cutting into and damaging your strop.

After shaving clean and rinse shavete, dry and untill next time. No rash, no skin problems. Oh yeah, and Perma Sharp blades, its not an add but thats some tested good blades.

My grandpa still has his father in law’s somewhere tucked away in his closet and he showed it to me last week. I’ve shaven all my life with a shavette and was never afraid of cutting myself. Now this razor hadn’t been stropped in probably 50 years and it has some rust on it (hope that I can get rid of that) but the difference in sharpness between a shavette and that razor wasn’t even comparable

Buy a good razor for about 100$...buy a good strop for about 68-80$ .. Shave for a good 3 months and MAYBE you could use a hone.. this resharpening after 3 or 4 shaves is absolutely BS 👍 The key, never buy another razor or blade again 🤷🏻♂️... King Gillette gave away his razors, because he knew people would have to buy the blades... creating the empire we all know today...
