Been trying my shavette again, with a selection of DE blades snapped in half and got a really good close shave with Gillette 7 o'clock yellow and not a single cut, I want to try some more sharp blades in the shavette are there any similar blades or sharper blades i should try with it?
I find that not all blades break 'clean'. Some bend before they snap leaving a bend at the broken end that is difficult to fit into some handles. You'll have to experiment or find 'professional' blades for barber use that are factory halfs.
Yes he does, Paul (connaught) sells some too. I like the half blades best, as indeed sometimes the blades do not brake neatly. Cutting with scissors works better.
When i use the shavette i cut the blades in half with an old pair of scissors saves having to bend to brake them in half as for blades you could always try the iridums personally i use wilko's, ladas, rapira's just about anything thats cheap and get great results with them...
Cheers, I have a couple of feather and perma sharp will give them a try next time I use my shavette.
Yeah the blade do not snap clean but still fit perfectly fine in it just slight harder to line it up when closing it, will give scissors a go next time
