This is a barber razor or Shavette that takes injector or mini-shaper blades. It has a wide shank and tang so you have better control of the angle of the blade when you shave. It has become the only Shavette I care to use.
Pros: Good grip and control due to wide shank and tang.
Cons: Blade area smaller than regular Straight Razor.
No Shavette will compare to a regular straight edge. But for the price this is my favorite barber razor or Shavette. Good balance and control blades last longer than 1/2 DE blades of most Shavettes.
