Good vid, Johan. I agree with you 100 percent. I’ve shaved with lots of different shavette-style razors and lots of different blades-including DE, Tondeo blades, and hair-shaper blades-and nothing compares to the shave you’ll get from a Weck loaded with a Kismet blade. My advice to anyone starting out would be to first get some experience shaving with a traditional straight razor, as it’s much more forgiving. The Weck and Kismet requires a higher skill set. And like you, Johan, I almost never get a bloodless shave from a new Kismet. It actually takes about three shaves before it settles down.
Thanks for a great comment. I agree it's best to start with a straight razor, provided you have someone who can hone it properly until you are able to yourself. Some "cork" their blades to take the edge off the edge - does that work for you?
A Dentist friend of mine used straight razors exclusively. One day I walked into his office and noticed a big cotton patch on his right cheek. He told me he sliced a piece of flesh off his face. After a month,without the patch, the inch long piece of skin was sutured back on. A year later, he had plastic surgery to fix his face. I will never use a straight razor, never.

@@Shave_n_ButcherI haven’t tried corking yet. I just suffer through the blood.
@@masterthecast3441 your skin is the cork
Do you find not having the weight of the straight razor mess you up with using a shavette?
Thanks for sharing.
I prefer the weight of a straight razor, but it doesn't bother me particularly. Good question!

Oh not fun! I am not sure I would use a dentist who doesn't have better control of his hands.
