Shavettes are probably the most unforgiving form of shaving. Starting with one has turned many a man off of straight razor shaving.Would love to get one though my only experience with a Shavette about 5 years ago gave me the finest results on my cheek but after I was done with my neck, it looked like Edward Scissorhands had a go. I had nine nicks and three weepers, called them the Bloody Dozen.
Having said that, I still rmember Barbers in my childhood sharpening their straight razors and using it for my sidelocks, behind the ears and the on the neck. Cherish the hands of those blokes who has a feather touch and sleight of hand.
Thanks so much for that. Will read this in depth. Thanks to you mate, I probably will embark on that SR trail, though I still have to learn how to hone one.Shavettes are probably the most unforgiving form of shaving. Starting with one has turned many a man off of straight razor shaving.
You need to overcome your ill-founded fear. It does take patience and practise to succeed at straight razor shaving, however, most men successfully shaved with traditional straight razors for hundreds of years.

Hence why you need two straight razors; one that is shave ready and the other to learn to hone with.Thanks so much for that. Will read this in depth. Thanks to you mate, I probably will embark on that SR trail, though I still have to learn how to hone one.
Are you the one who has a third wife?Better responses might be "how many shoes can you wear at a time?" or "how many handbags can you carry?"...
On for it definitely then. That's so kind of you Mate.Hence why you need two straight razors; one that is shave ready and the other to learn to hone with.
The shave-ready SR can be maintained indefinitely on just a single 0.1µm diamond pasted balsa strop. Instructions are here:

Refining a SR on diamond pasted balsa strops may not be for everyone but many will appreciate shaving with probably the sharpest edge that they can put onto a traditional straight razor.

Instructions on how to hone economically can be found here:
Honing With Lapping Film
A cheaper and effective way to hone your straight razors (SR) is to use lapping film rather than expensive whetstones. Many users of expensive whetstones will scoff at this idea. They may be just trying to justify their outlay on expensive whetstones. Others just feel better inside using stones...paste-and-cut.com.au
I recommend that you get the two "free" SRs now available in PIF No. 11 before there are no more left.
Not me. No sane man would want more than one wife. All those guys who kept entire harems must have been completely nuts.Are you the one who has a third wife?
