Unfortunately, despite paying extra for express shipping, there is no way of tracking it, which I find a bit naff. Hopefully it won't get "lost" in the christmas rush, I have had some really bad luck in the past with non-trackeable shipments.....
Respect,you're a braver man than I am. I bought a Parker Shavette thingy to try open blade shaving, and am selling it again, unused, 'cos I'm too chicken to try itYeah..They are Wonderful Shavers on the Skin..

Serious question;: what are they designed for, when not for shaving?Shavettes are Nothing Like a Traditional SR..I Don't Know Why they are Compared in Forums..In Fact DE Blade Type Shavettes are NOT Even Designed for Shaving at All..

They were Designed as Hair Trimmers/Shapers on the Back of the Neck After a Hair Cut Etc..
I think they were originally used by barbers as a sort of 'tidy up' tool?Shavettes are Nothing Like a Traditional SR..I Don't Know Why they are Compared in Forums..In Fact DE Blade Type Shavettes are NOT Even Designed for Shaving at All..

I have visions in my head of the barber shops in the mafia films, when some mafia big cheese is getting a shave, and some guy comes in and slits his throat open, and the blood spraying up the walls, and think: that could be me..... I know, I know, I'm being a big girls blouse....
You just watch too many movies mate...Ah, ok. I wasn't aware of that. Anyway, I'm getting rid of it: My Merkur Futur is as wild as I want to go. I've read views that the Futur with a feather blade and cranked wide open is as efficient as a straight razor. Never tried a straight for a direct comparison, but it just looks f*cking dangerous to me
