Valet Auto-Strop

[NotTheStig]

Probably a thread here already somewhere, but what is the consensus on these? Cheap and ubiquitous it seems, although using a different blade to the DE standard and need a decent strop?

They use a not standard SE blade, you can not get the blades anymore. thought you can modify a standard SE blade to suit the majority of these so no real need to use the strop. after all that they shave quite well :lol:

You can get Feather single edge blades for the Valet razor over at Razor Blades and More Co.
They have the cut outs in them to allow them to be fitted in this razor, although they are
out of stock at present.

Thanks guys. Was this the one where there were letters cut out of the blade to form those holes?

Some do need the the blades with the valet cut out to fit others just need the spine removed from a normal SE blade

Yes, there are still blades with these cutouts available in the US, I've been very tempted to get a few packs...
