Straight razor maintenance made easy with replaceable blades! Includes 5 FREE Derby blades!
The shavette is a close relative to the straight razor with the difference being that the blades can be changed, just like a safety razor. This means you don't have to worry about stropping and sharpening yet enjoy the closeness of a straight razor shave! 5 Derby blades provided. In plastic slip case. Length is 24cm fully open.
For guidelines on how to shave with a shavette please see our "How to use a Straight/Cut-Throat Razor" section of our FAQ, remembering that you won't need to strop or hone a shavette!
Have any burning questions you would like ask our wet shaving expert Aaron Wolfenbarger? Is shaving lather really important? Should I shave with or against the grain? What causes razor bumps and how can I get rid of them? Feel free to ask any pressing question you want answering.
Author: Andrew Kerensky I bought this shavette as a way of dipping my little toe into the realm of straight razor shaving. Its not quite a traditional straight razor but very similar AND without the need to hone or strop your blade.
The procedure for placing the DE blade (just a normal DE blade split in two) into the shavette is actually very simple. Their is however some skill required and a steady hand to secure a smooth no cuts free shave.
The great thing about this straight razor is its cheap enough to give it a go. After trying it i decided it was'nt for me as i'm a bit lazy and have gone back to using my safety razor.
Worth a try but be carefull.
Author: T. S. Thank you for this gift!
For me this will be a good addition to my safety razors when travelling and an easy-to-use alternative to my open razors while they wait for resharpening.
Because of the very low price and the easy use/change of blades, I recommend this for everybody who would like to try the feeling of shaving with an open razor.
But attention: Might be the beginning of a further costly passion (but a nice one, anyway).
Author: Jorge Vicente Berm�dez Rico Heavier than most shavettes and cheaper!!!
I'm still looking for the catch but I haven't found one
In case of doubt read a very good review on the internet about shavettes

Author: Andrew Male I always fancied having a go but the outlay was too much if I decided it was not for me. I then saw the shave shack shavette at a price I could not, not give it a go. On arrival through the door I went and tried it out. It was 1-0 to the shavette. I have since read a few sites on how to use this type of straight razor and I am progressing quite well. My enthusiasm is spreading as others are giving it a go now. There is somthing quite nostalgic about it. The smell of the shave soaps & creams is fantastic. I am now looking to progress onto a full blown "cut throat". Fantastic shaving experiance.
Author: Lyndon Dudding Having found the delights of DE shaving last year, it was only natural that I'd strive to progress to a straight razor. This is my first step on that voyage. Well, what can i say. A decent weight, easy to use and the blade locking mechanism is very firm. And at this price, you really can't go wrong! Give it a try!
