Thank you for the input on the difference between a straight & safety razor!
I use the safety razor, however when I get older and my beard grows more and I will bet more options, I will learn how to use the straight razor
Definitely
Straight razor is old technology.
Safety razor is newer.
but both are classic (none of that plastic shiyat)
Thanks for watching!
This particular straight razor is called a shavette. A shavette has a changeable blade as the one depicted. A true straight razor requires regular stropping & an occasional honing to remain sharp.
Besides that, these folks know what their talking about.
Appreciate the comment! Thanks for sharing that.
Actually is called straight razor with disposable blades, but we call them shavette because dovo was the first that make this and called dovo shavette
I am not a big fan of those shavettes that stick the razor between two pieces of metal and have a third piece fixing it all in place. The whole setup ends up very thick and limiting your control of the geometry. Much prefer shavettes that slide the blade in, where its closer to a real straight razor (like those from Dovo, Feather and the newer offerings from Boker).
I would say for a 3 min video it was pretty good other than that being a shavette and not a straight razor as pointed out above, and there are differences between the use of those.
Being someone who uses a straight razor to shave, and have done for years, I would however disagree that cutting yourself is easier with a straight, in reality there are two ways to cut yourself with a straight, a lot of excessive pressure, or slicing on the horizontal, and I can tell you from experience, doing those things with a double edge will cut you just as easily.
Thanks for the info appreciate you for watching!
My experience has been the opposite. I recently bought a few different DE razors to mix up my routine a bit (have been exclusively using a safety razor, plus a shavette for travel, for about 4 years now) and the safety razor is just more "idiot proof". They aren't that far off from a cartridge razor, and that's after using a both a supposedly more "aggressive" parker razor alongside a "mild" merkur one. Sorta disappointed actually, its downright boring to shave with a DE razor.
@@JimIBobIJones I totally agree you have to be more careful with the cut throath as it's much sharper than its grandfather and the safety razor has a safety bar that reduces the risk of cuts considerably.
I love both eventhough I'm still learning with the cut throath and there has been some blood shed but I love the way the blades feels as I shave
Which one is closer? Or are the same?
2:13 ahah i keep my blades for like a month 😂
LOL
I move to a safety a couple of years ago and was a great improvement to cartridge ones.
Now I considering an shavette but honestly, I wonder if its really such and improvement to switch, or just a cool factor. I don't care about cool but practicality and the safety just works so...
A straight is damn cool but the maintenance is keeping me out. I just start learning to sharp kitchen knifes so I don't think I had any skills to proper sharp something like that. 😅😅😅
Some time ago I watched a guy, talking about artificial edges on the DE blades and that they cause the irritation on the skin. So the shavette could be no improvement for you. Personally I can only compare DE and real straight razor. And the straight is a big improvement in irritationless shaving, if you can handle it
What's a good beginner blade? After all I don't want to look like I come back from World War 3. They have to have different sharpnesse's like a knife.
okay question, I have a very fine beard, just on my chin really, I use a normal cartage and the blade lasts me months, is it worth me going the route of a straight or safety razor?
Always great to go for a straight razor or safety razor! Will last for ever
Absolutely! I bought 100 of the Japanese feather blades for my safety razor. Each blade lasts up to 3 shaves and I can go 3 days without a shave but I shave weekly.
I haven't even used half the box yet!
I purchased an EZ Blade Stainless Straight Blade with the regular blade (not razor blade). Works great......
I bought a safety razor for my beard and regret is a little. So i want to get a straight razor now
Nice
That's a shavette, not a real straight razor.
Diamond blades laser razor sharp yes is one thing
What is better, vanilla or chocolate pudding, Italy or Spain? I love clickbait. Especially when dealing with straight razors.
That ain't a straight razor. Epic fail.
@DuckLord by the way, the feeling on skin of shaving with a shavette and a straight is very different. It's more like a DE razor. You can learn the handling, but the feeling of a straight is much softer on the skin
It is a straight razor. A shavette is just a disposable blade straight razor.
that's not a straight razor, it's a shavette.
Thanks! Yes but 90% of people know it as a straight razor. there for we use that term. If you google straight razor one of these will come up. Thanks for watching!
@@ezbladeshavingproducts hi, some info for you, I watched a video of a guy some time ago, who called the edges of DE blades artificial and that this causes more skin irritation. The stroped edge of a real straight razor cause much less skin irritation. The handling is the same as a straight, the feeling is the same as a DE.
@@ezbladeshavingproducts 90% of the Germans claim that Nazis where only a minority and if you google Black Eyed Peas you get a group of musicians. Just because someone says something doesn’t make it the truth.
@@Jjf109nine Being a nazi or not being a nazi is not comparable to having a shavette or a straight razor lmao. To most people they'll just be like "Straight razor" and "Different straight razor". Same idea, use and technique, different maintenance.
As for the black eyed peas that's because it has multiple meanings bro, that's basically all swear words too
I prefer a straight razor
Why
