Customer Reviews

Average Customer Rating   Based on 10 votes Customer Reviews Author: Clarence Covel I used this razor for the first time a few days ago...a razor with a very substantial feel yet light enough to be responsive around the tricky chin and Adam's apple area!! Mechanism held the blade very secure!! Author: Ben Watson I have always been interested in staright razor shaving, having seen these razors in countless films and such, it always looked so cool. Plus the skill and time involved in maintaining and using these razors is obvioulsy something to take pride in. However, the straight razors, and the strops and hones required are expensive. Plus I am cursed with sensitive skin on my face. I know, I should just man up and get on with it! But to see if the style and manner of straight razor shaving agreed with me and my tempramental skin, I thought I would give this Parker Shavette a try. The shavette is quite light in weight although feels solid enough, and is easy to load up with half a double edged blade. The first time I used it I took it slowly and managed to work it round the contours and angles of my face, although still managed to end up with so many nicks, nacks and then some more nicks that Spike Milligan could have done a poem about the experience! I have used it a few times since and I am getting better, although still getting used to it. It does give a smooth result, and I would recommend it to anyone who wanted to give straight razor shaving a bash. Author: Jamie Patel Like Mr. Watson, I was rather curious about straight razor shaving, however, I am just downright lazy and really would not be suited to honing and stroping my razor if I invested in a traditional one, so decided to take the plunge and get a shavette. * THIS PRODUCT DELIVERED WITHIN 2 DAYS =) GREAT SERVICE * First impressions when I got this razor out of the box was: wow this thing is light. Then the worst nightmare, the fear that the product is faulty! Be careful not to push the arm with the razor blade too far into the casing otherwise you risk jamming it in the casing, which I did unintentionally by dropping it! Once prised out of the jammed casing, I quickly and effortlessly loaded it up with a derby half double-edged blade and began.... chopping my face to bits! I came out bleeding more than one of Jigsaw's sadistic "games" in the SAW movies. Once I got the hang of it second time round, my face is as smooth as a baby's bottom and the shavette looks rather cool in my bathroom tidy. Would recommend this product for anyone wishing to break into this hobby. Would sincerely recommend having a shower first to properly soak your face and open your pores (especially if you have sensitive skin) otherwise you definitely gonna cut yourself! Author: David Thompson Got this razor to try straight shaving, after some practice its really easy to use and gives great . the blade holding mechanism looks flimsy but holds the blade very securly Author: Maxime SALAÜN Using for many times a DOVO straight razor, tired of leather stropping everyday and stropping, I decided to try this shavette (I ordered TREET blade too !). This has a very nice shape to be nicely hold. changing blade remain very simple. This is really a great product. I must add that the look is also very suitable in your bathroom. Try this, you'll be pleased. Author: AJ Campbell Picked up this shavette after wanting to give straight razor shaving a go. Like Mr Patel above I found that it was quite easy to jam the blade in the casing, but once you've done it once it's easy to remember not to! On to the shave... Unlike the others here I managed not to cut myself up too badly, but it does take some practice to get a close shave in some areas (I also took the precaution of buying it with some alum block, which works incredibly well for whe you do get nicked). Now after a bit of practice I actually find myself looking forward to shaving with this, whereas shaving with cartridges was always a chore.
