Shavette. Great for shaving, perfect for trimming

Shavette isclassic razoranda traditional sharpenable razorhybrid. In other words, you get the benefits of a razor's precise shaving mark and the quick blade change of a safety razor (single-edged planer) in the same package!

Shavette = Razor with interchangeable blades

Traditional shavetsuse the same onessingle-edged razorslike planers. The only difference is that you get two blades from one shavette, because the blade is cut in half lengthwise (instructions below).

There are also differences in shaves

Although the shaves are very similar to each other, there are two types of these: Classic andJapanese-style. Classic shavettes (see the adjacent picture) are rotating at the joint, and thus you get a more versatile grip on the knife. Japanese-style razors are straight, i.e. without turning. The more common one is classic, but some users swear by the Japanese style. This is a matter of taste.

Another product group in interchangeable blade knives is Feather professional razors. These are barber-level tools and also use different, own blades. You can find more information about professional shavesfrom here.

Preparing the replacement blade
and installation.

The razor blade, i.e. replacement blade, is DE razor blade in English. The designation DE comes from the words "Double Edge". When used in Shavete, the blade is cut in half lengthwise. Choosing a blade can be confusing, which is why we have developed itBlade Sampler blade testing package! Althoughwe also have a lot to choose fromthese blades are all similar in design and fit all traditional shavets.

DE Razor blade = Replacement blade

Cutting the blade may sound like a chore, but it's really easy. Below you will find pictorial instructions for cutting the blade and putting it in place.

1. Start by cutting the blade

Cut the blade in half lengthwise. This is best done when the blade is still in the protective paper, by bending it against the palm. The blade snaps across with a little pressure.

2. Open the blade part of the shaver

Open the blade mechanism of the shaver. There are a few different mechanisms, the one shown in the picture is the most common.

3. Place the blade in place

Next, place the split blade in its designated place as shown. In some models, the "bumps" have notches where the blade fits easily.

4. Carefully close the mechanism

Finally, close the blade mechanism and be very careful because the blade is extremely sharp! About 1 mm of the blade should be visible. Then just drive.

Zero waste.
100% recyclable.

There has been a lot of discussion about plastic waste in the last few years, and we have brought it up specifically in the marketing of single-edged planers. This is based on fact, because planers and razors with replaceable blades leave behind nothing but a smooth surface. The blades are completely made of metal and you can recycle them for metal collection. Most of the shavettes' packaging is also plastic-free, so they end up in the cardboard collection. No unnecessary plastic bags in blade packages or extra rubber cells that do not benefit the user in any way.

Zero-waste = 100% recyclable

Also in terms of price, classic razor blades beat the replacement blades of multi-blade razors in a long way. We calculated the savings in the open, in five years you can save almost a ton.Read the price comparison here.
