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.

A deal breaker for me. Having developed the technique of getting BBS-close with low angles is why (IMO) I rarely nick myself and never have irritation. [Of course many years of strong alcohol aftershaves may have tanned my skin.]
