The Proraso Shavette Razor is a cost-effective and low maintenance alternative to a traditional straight razor, ideal for those who are starting out with shaving with a straight razor.It can hold a single edge blade or a double edge blade snapped in half, eliminating the need for stropping or honing the blade. When the disposable blade becomes dull, just remove it and insert a new one.It features an ergonomic wooden handle engraved with the Proraso logo and a stainless steel shank and blade holder etched with 'Save The Barber'; an homage to the master barbers who collaborated with Proraso on the design of this razor.
