What is a Shavette
A Shavette is a straight razor made by Dovo that takes disposable blades. There are two blade holders available for the Shavette that slide into the Shavette. One that takes regular Double Edge razor blades snapped in half. The other takes bigger blades made by Dovo.
What Are the advantages of a Shavette
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)
The Downsides
The DE razorblades are very sharp and the blade is shorter with two spike points (depending on the DE blades used) this makes the blades very unforgiving for any errors.
-If you use too much pressure you will bleed -Wrong angle and you will bleed -Move your face while the razor is on your face and you will bleed
These thing make the shaves with the Shavette less comfortable than the real straight razors. Especially at the start of the straight shaving carreer.
