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.

    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.
