Twenty-sixth Day of TabOKtoberfest
- Brush: Dogwood Handcrafts Tabak Oridjinal
- Razor: Dovo Shavette (split DE version)
- Lather: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
- Post Shave: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
- Fragrance: Mäurer & Wirtz – Tabac Original
I’ve had this shavette for a while, bit this is the first time I’m using it. It has a plastic point protruding beyond the corner of the blade. Doubtless meant as a safety feature, it just makes it difficult shave close to the nostrils. Split DE shavettes have no soul. Sad.
Stank ++;

After the Weck [and you talked me into that], the only shavette I’ve even considered is the Tedalus Essence, but that’s mostly due to how cool it looks.

That it does! But injector blades and shavettes aren’t a good match IMO. They have sharp corners, no bueno

I think I saw someone complaining that the B-20 has rounded corners and barely hits the posts on their injector so it might be perfect for a shavette.

The Essence accepts Artist Club blades. That’s all I would use in it. But, I’m concerned it might be a case of form over function with that razor.

AC could be better than injector blades 🤔
I’ve tried the Feather DX a while back, and it was ok. Compared to straights or Wecks, though, the minimum useable angle was less shallow, and less shallow than I liked.
