What shavette would you recommend to me? My own thoughts so far, but I could be wrong in any or all, are:
- half DE, not AC, because of the effort and costs involved
- on the safer side (little exposure, corners covered?), because I have no experience with straight razors/shavettes, and will gain experience slowly, unless I switch to them entirely, not just for the upper lip
- firm hold of the blade in the shavette. For a beginner and merely occasional user, wobbly blades wouldn't be helpful.
- thin, because the whole point is to make an angle possible that isn't too perpendicular to my skin. It would be more difficult to shave flatly if the blade is literally half a DE blade, but the holder is as wide as a full one or more. (Wide? Deep? I hope it's clear which I mean.)
