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 🩸.

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.

    Do you often nick yourself with a disposable razor?

    I got a safety razor(not this brand) a few years back as a present and never had a problem with it. I use it to this day.

      I guess some context got lost in translation, due to the overloaded term safety razor.

      Currently I’m not using disposable one-way razors, but a "system"razor - the “Gillette March 3”. I can use disposable razors in my Shavette, which is an open blade. The next stop is a safety razor where you swap the blade (german word is Rasierhobel). I ordered it today and it still needs to be delivered, but I have high hopes, that it will be enough.

      If not, I’ll test the expensive linked trippled blade saftey razor.

        Yes. Thank you for the terminology.

        I am currently using safety razor with changeable two sided blades. The manufacturer was Merkur or Muhle I think. I can vouch for it, very comfortable and safe. The shave is not the cleanest(sometimes I have to make several passes to remove all hair), but overall very good.

        Hope it works for you too.
