So I typically shave with a safety as they are easy to use and cheap on the blades. I decided to try a shavette razor the last few weeks. I have since gotten the hang of it, but it does feel way more awkward and not a whole lot better, as such it takes far longer to use. Tho the shave is still rather good.

I don't know the model, but that's a DE shavette. I much prefer Artist Club blades - which are longer, and much stiffer (and mrre expensive, also for the blades).

As for technique, you can look for our own Greg Gallant on youtube - or also Shave and Butcher, if you want a free dad joke with the shave.
