No thank you...I'm fine. Yeah DE Straights are face slicers. Love the one I have...but likely won't ever to a full shave ever again. Thanks Chris @CBLindsay for the shout out!

Here are some pics of mine:

I actually bought one of those ebay ignite fitness mania half DE scissor style loading shavettes that look similar to a parker but with wood style handles with a 10 pack of blades for 3.99 and the thing is actually a great shaver. I guess its one of those ymmv things because so far ( and now that i say it that will probably change ) i havent ever even gotten a weeper from it. I really like the thing a lot and for that price shipped and from the USA i figured it was a good test since i had never tried a half de shavette before...

Edited to add scissor style...

The proportions must be off, because that thing "Looks" like it would take a full DE. I guess the big question is how much blade exposure is there. That will kinda tell you how comfortable the shave might be.

This makes me want to pull out some of my DE blade shavettes and have a go.

Right? You gotta be careful for sure, but I've always liked the shave I get from them. For the most part, I do prefer the ones that will take a whole blade.

See? That looks like it’s a cool little piece of face fillet equipment. I would totally go for it if I hadn’t been bitten like 100 times already.

for the record my son learned to straight shave using a magic razor, way less cool. So it can be done. I used the same magic razor to cut stripes in my cheeks every time I tried.

I will give a quick review of it either here, or in my journal. It won't be here until January, however.

Ok thanks. i had looked at that razor because i have a kai captain that uses the AC blades and i have shavettes that use half DE blades and that one looked like a combo of both so i was interested if anyone had tried it yet and what their thoughts were,, so i look forward to hearing what you think of it before i decide to order one or not..
 
They arrived early (Saturday). The green one will be going out to Chad along with some blades for the Bad Blades review. We will see if he uses it or not.

I have never seen one shipped with a blade installed, however.

I probably won't be using the enclosed Dorco blades. I will try it with a Perma-Sharp first, I think.

The shave review is forthcoming.

This one I'm anxious to hear about since thats one I was / am very interested in.....
 
Today's shave with this razor was good. It is much more mild than other half-blade shavettes that I have used. It still wanted to bite, and did give me a couple of nips, but it was more pleasant to shave with than several others that I have used.

I would call it a good deal for what it is.
