Got the Shavette because of the economical price and options for blades, and as my intro into true wet shaving, wasn’t ready to drop the $$$$ on a good quality, traditional cutthroat/strop/hone/etc. Will most likely become my go to travel razor, after I figure out which blades like me best. If you don’t want to fuss with stropping and honing or are just starting to dabble in straight razor wet shaving, this is a good option. Seems well built so far, just wish it was slightly heavier (4 stars) to more closely replicate the heft and feel of a traditional razor.
