Several of us have been having a lot of fun with a type of DE razor that mjclark has dubbed the "devette" due to its similarity to a shavette. More details about the DEvette can be found HERE.
I have modified a Chinese 3-piece razor by cutting off the guard bar and then grinding down the struts (sadly, the edges are still not smooth).
The rules:
1) Sign up by posting in this thread.
2) Keep the razor for a maximum of 7 days. If you can't do this, please don't join.
3) PM the next person on the list and then mail the DEvette to them.
4) Agree never to mail the razor back to its original owner (me).
5) Do not blame me if this monstrosity hurts you. It is dangerous.
6) When loaded, never rest the razor on the blade edge (there is no guard).
7) Have fun, but be very careful (see #5).
8) CONUS only. The value of this devette is much lower than the cost of international postage.
Because the baseplate appears to be made out of zamak, it will start to fall apart before too long. After all, by cutting off the guard bars, I have breached the plating and exposed the bare zamak. I will coat it with something, but that will not help for long. So, this passaround is not going to be one of those epic 2 year journeys.
Assuming I get at least one volunteer, I will mail it out on 12/31/14. The first person gets a free bottle of Nivea Sensitive ASB and some blades.
