This razor is very similar in shape to the classic hazard razor, but unlike it, the chevette does not need to be sharpened on a sharpening stone. Simply remove the dull blade and replace it with a new one. The handle is made of polished natural wood and all other parts are made of stainless steel. The packaging is a tin rectangular box with a padded spoon and the company logo on the lid.
According to reviews on Spanish and Portuguese forums, this is one of the best shavette razors. It is a pleasure to shave from the first use, and the quality of workmanship is particularly delightful: owners emphasize the high quality of the mirror-polished metal parts, the presentable packaging and the tactilely pleasant wooden handle.
How to use a shavette razor Antiga Barbearia de Bairro:
- Steam the skin on your face, and if the bristles are very stiff, apply a special pre-shave cream 3—5 minutes before shaving;
- Break apart a standard double edge blade or remove a single edge blade from the protective envelope;
- Insert the blade into the razor clip and lock it firmly in place;
- When shaving, pull the skin taut and try to aim the razor at a 30° angle to the surface of the skin.
The blade is replaced as follows:
- remove the top clip from the shaver’s working part;
- shake out the dull blade;
- insert a new sharp blade between the two plates that make up the working part of the razor;
- clamp the plates together with a clamp.
All parts are perfectly polished and fit together with high precision. The cutting edge of the inserted blade protrudes no more than 2 mm. It is easy to remove and there is no risk of the clamp slipping during shaving.
Remember, the shavette razor has no protection against cuts. When shaving, make sure you have good lighting and be careful, as it is easy to injure yourself if you are in a hurry or apply too much pressure.
