I think you need one to provide a decent quick shave. Beyond that, a shavette is the only one that requires the most skill followed by a straight if honed to your needs and the area to be shaved.

Yea tbh shavettes are nice in that you can just dispose the blade and try any brand new brand you fancy

This YouTuber seems to make using a shavette for head shaving look easy

I’m not a head shaver. It took a week for the muscle memory to build an ambidextrous shavette skill. Finger rolling on the chin was a breakthrough skill I intuitively was able to acquire.

The head shave is blind, which I could do on my face if the power went out.

How long does it take you to use a straight or shavette etc compared to say a de/se razor?

for those of who're into manscaping don't you find it a bit strange and surreal that when you shave your bits and bobs you can use any de blade and it works but on your face/head it's a different ball game where you find certain blades work better then others?

I mean it's just weird as your bits and bobs are more sensitive then your face and head

yes it's a random thing I just posted but that's what this thread is all about lol 😅
Cuts, and thus drawing blood is easy without regards to any blade at all. I shave my crown jewels with any DE blade I can get my hands on. The razor and according blade gap is what causes cuts on the hair follicles on the sac with the corresponding skin tension, mind you...

Skin tension matters!

Can't see myself settling on one razor, but after a couple of years in the hobby, I am definitely able to streamline and focus on the ones that I really enjoy using. I have broadened from DE razors to AC SE razors, then shavette (just one) and now straight razors. Ideally I can get down to two per razor type?

One week. I was surprised. I started rolling the tang in my fingers without thinking regarding the Feather SS.

The DE and SE was immediate, but I had used them since I was 14.

might use the proraso shaving foam, just wondering how do you guys apply shaving foam?

Straight on the face with hands or onto a brush then onto the skin?

I have a tendancy to squit out too much shaving foam, so experiment to determine how much you prefer. A good wet face also helps.
