So I typically shave with a safety as they are easy to use and cheap on the blades. I decided to try a shavette razor the last few weeks. I have since gotten the hang of it, but it does feel way more awkward and not a whole lot better, as such it takes far longer to use. Tho the shave is still rather good.

    There’s a saying that it takes 100 open blade shaves to become proficient at it, so don’t expect the awkwardness to go away immediately.

    May I ask what kind of shavette you got? Of it’s one that takes DE blades (full or half), those are asking the more difficult open blade razors to learn to handle.
