I am in with the Feather blade.
As usual, I'm going to offer a couple of Personna 74 blades in exchange for a donation to Sue Moore's fund. I'll post them today or tomorrow. They'll be $10.00 each. As always, I don't profit...you'll make the donation directly to Sue's fund and I'll send out the blade to you.
That's darn nice of you. What's it been... nearly ten years now since Sue passed? I still get choked up about what she went through... her husband dying and then her fight with breast cancer. She was an amazing woman. I never did find the strength or words to post in her thread.
I'm going to go buy something from saintcharlesshave.com right now.
Apologies for de-railing the thread a bit, but it never hurts to remember a great human being.
I was going to give this a miss this year, as I was doing a fair bit of swapping around, but I've changed my mind
I'm in!

I've just loaded up the Dovo shavette with a fresh Derby Premium saloon blade, and this will be a more significant challenge for me than usual this year. I've never tried sticking with straight format shaves for an extended duration, and it will be interested to see how I get on with trying to just* use the shavette for a month.
*Disclaimers:
A) I might not shave every day. I might need to give myself some recovery days between shaves.
B) I will (evoking Rule #4) be taking one day off and using the Jagger. I have a reunion to go to later in February, and will be wanting to be certain of a fully clean and irritation free shave, which I'm not certain of with the Dovo at my current level of experience.
Going to be following this one with much interest.
I sense a new primarily-shaves-with-straight guy (like me ) in the making. That is, if the Derby blade can go the distance, and I'm kinda wringing my hands over that part. Should be ok since you won't be shaving every day, but if you have a coarse beard, it'll still be tight.
