Hey guys,
I would love to start a discussion about shavettes.
When I go through some threads I often come across words like cheap, unforgiving, bad balance, cuts, etc.
In my opinion, shavettes can be so much more than just the ugly sister of a beautiful straight razor.
Based on countless conversations with men I came to the conclusion, that a lot would love to start shaving with a straight razor, but they are too scared because it's a big solid blade.
They told me, that they would feel more comfortable with a shavette, and they would give it a try.
Unfortunately, they mostly end up buying cheap shavettes in combination with DE blades, have a bad experience with them, and end up turning their back completely on straight razor shaving. I think this is really sad…
I see that as an opportunity to build a bridge between the younger and the older generation and bring the beautiful "straight razor shaving" ritual closer the modern men.
I want to create a Shavette that combines the beautiful design, attention to detail, and the high-quality materials from a custom-made straight razor with the simplicity of a modern Shavette. A Shavette that is a piece of art and a tool alike.
The Feather AC DX is a really beautiful razor and comes really close to what I would consider as “fantastic shavetteâ€. I just think there are still things to improve in terms of design, different blade types, and price.
As already mentioned, I would like to create a shavette that is not just a tool that delivers an awesome shave. IMO that are the basics every product should already have. I am talking about creating a piece of art that men can use with pure joy.
Even though I'm already working for two years on that project and the prototype is in its finale stages I would love to hear how you guys see shavettes.
It's probably a bit late to start a conversation with you guys about that topic, but better late than never .
I don't want to you that thread to sell something. I would really just like to hear what you guys think about shavettes in general?
What are the important points you're looking at when considering buying a shavette?
Is a shavette just a tool that has to deliver a good shave or are aesthetics, sustainability, and quality also important points you're looking for?
I'm hoping for a great discussion and express my thanks to all participants.
