As the Shavette takes DE razorblades it is not necessary to strop the razor or to hone the razor. So the equipment needed to keep the razor shaveready is greatly reduced. Also the time spent on honing and stropping is replaced by changing the razor blade.(can be done in 5 seconds) | As the Shavette takes DE razorblades it is not necessary to strop the razor or to hone the razor.

| − | + | The Shavette is not as comfortable as the real Straight so you should not expect to buy a Shavette and be ready for the rest of your shaving carreer. Eventualy you will want to try the real thing and buy a good strop and hone to at least tough-up your razor. | |
| − | + | If you are impatient, dont buy a Shavette because you will get hurt. The Shavette doesnt feel the same as the real straight. it is very light. So if you like heavier tools to shave. Dont buy the Shavette | |
