A very nice thread, lovely to see the many Shavettes. Can those who have tried both straight razor and shavette, recommend a shavette that shaves as smooth as a straight. Basically not a very crisp edge or blade feel but sharp yet blunt if that makes sense?? Or am I really considering blade type here.

I'm certainly no expert, but I have found the Feather clone with the included blade very close to that of the straights from the pass around. Smoother in fact...

@Nishy,

PM me your address.
I'll send you my folding Kai Captain to try.
Decide for yourself how similar or different it is to a straight.

I think no shavette will shave as a straight because the angle is very different, and the other way around.

Focus R28 Slim Al Razor

The Body Shop Cream is so old it is more like a croap but it still performs as always.
A really comfortable and effortless shave.
2 passes and a touch up for a perfect finish:)
