Bit of a different learning curve are the shavettes Simon not for everyone..they have a pokey edge even more so than a straight with a synthetic edge they require perfect angle and very light strokes..straights are much more forgivingView attachment 78077

Second shave with the DX - finding it quite similar in technique to straights but not as smooth - also likes to bite way more. Not entirely sure whether it’s a keeper - will wait until my guarded blade pack is back from loan together with hawk v2 and try guarded blades in it. Same shave setup as yesterday - just the soap has changed - yesterday I’ve used Declaration grooming weinstrasse… not my type of scent!
near bbs both times but also a few weepers a first time and couple today. Definitely need to try the guarded one … if they won’t bring me satisfying enough results, I potentially might move this on and stick to straights
Definitely! I thought they would be more likely to cut but didn’t expect that much difference in angle - seems like short strokes are much more preferable with them too! Will give it a few more goes when once guarded blades will come back to me and then see whether I’ll get used to it or not - but as it stands now straights are a clear winner hahaBit of a different learning curve are the shavettes Simon not for everyone..they have a pokey edge even more so than a straight with a synthetic edge they require perfect angle and very light strokes..straights are much more forgiving
