This is the opposite of the thread's goal. Two less Italian shaving items for me. First shaving cream tube executed.
Since you're a straight shaver, your choices are very limited for Italian razors. Italian-made shavettes are very affordable however. The Universal is my favorite shavette, but you can also check out Focus, Vanta, Magic, or the oddball Daune.I don’t know of any Italian razors I could afford but everything else is.
I have a bunch of different cheap Chinese shavettes as well. I agree that they do punch way above their price point.Thank you for the info. My current budget seems to focus me on Chinese construction for the time being. Fortunately they function quite well. As you can see, my dog is in bad need of a shave.
I watched a video of an Italian shavette that used both sides of a DE blade. Watching Italian barbers shave is incredible. I haven’t used a shavette in a while. They scare me. I do love my Gold Dollars though.I have a bunch of different cheap Chinese shavettes as well. I agree that they do punch way above their price point.
That said, the Italian Spilo Magic shavette is right around the Chinese shavette pricing.
The Magic Razor
Thats the Daune shavette. It makes no sense shaving your own face with both sides of the blade, but with someone else driving, I kinda see it.I watched a video of an Italian shavette that used both sides of a DE blade. Watching Italian barbers shave is incredible.
Nice picture! You really should try Bolzano blades. They are among my favorites.Fatip Testina Gentile
Everything else, save for the blade - Proraso
I need to try some Bolzano blades.
WOW Ray! A 100% Italian shave. Excellent.
If you mean a Modern DE razor I suggest to go for a Fatip, although is commonly not suggested for a novice.
