I've slept on this topic overnight. At least from my recent experiences with this thread, I have two opinions. Yes, just an opinion.
If you design something, you should be the one to benefit. I do not like Lamy pen clones or Feather clones, but that's just my choice. There are other shavettes that are branded and inexpensive.
For me a shavette more resembles a straight razor than any other type of razor and should be considered such. I used the Feather SS as a gateway for using a straight razor successfully. Not everyone wants to hone and collect rocks, but they want the SR aka unguarded blade experience.
