The shavette is not pricey plus it’s really cheap to use Shark straight edge razor blades or even the double safety razor blades (just break in half) from a store. Just watch some videos on YouTube on how to use one, and grab a styptic pencil too!
I will never go back to those multi-bladed razor rip-offs!
Just ordered the DE Merkur 180 Long Handle after reading this thread...... just recently starting shaving everywhere (except my head) and looking forward to trying this high quality razor.
