shavent razor (shavent.store)
submitted 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago) by SrMono@feddit.org to c/buyfromeu@feddit.org
 

With the idea to get away from Gillette razors (due to too much waste) I just pulled out my rusty trusty shavette, put in a razor blade and cut myself open like a dork ๐Ÿฉธ.

Sitting here with a bloody attitude, I ordered a cheap safety razor, minutes before I found shavent.

Do we have a shaved chad, that can vouch for shavent?

Might be my next move, if the new safety razor is still not safe enough for this unshaved monkey.

Shavettes with those single edge razors are maybe even harder to use than a straight razor.

Most double edge razors are very safe and easy to use although they can vary a lot from design and brand. Also a lot of razors can have a judge effect in the shave quality but it's worth trying out because they are a lot cheaper and even the bad ones can be better than the commercial alternatives

Yea,... I tried to use the Shavette since years. It is an on/off onslaught. Have big hopes for the incoming saftey razor.

You can often find cheap deals on local marketplaces, thrift stores, Facebook etc

Good luck!
