About Straight Razors, Cut Throat Razors & Shavettes
Straight Razor or Shavette?
A straight razor, also called a cut throat razor or cutthroat razor, has a permanent blade that needs stropping and occasional honing. A shavette gives a similar open-blade shaving style but uses replaceable blades, making it easier to keep a sharp edge.
Blade Compatibility
Blade format matters. DOVO and many Parker shavettes use half of a standard double edge blade or a compatible single edge half blade. Feather Artist Club razors use dedicated Artist Club blades, which are longer and not the same as DE blades.
Accessories and Maintenance
Traditional straight razors need maintenance accessories such as strops, pastes and honing stones. For travel or storage, use a suitable case from shaving accessories and cases. Shavette users should keep the correct replacement blades ready before the current blade starts to tug.
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a straight razor and a shavette?
A straight razor has a fixed blade that is maintained with a strop and occasional honing. A shavette uses replaceable blades, so it is simpler to keep sharp and is often used for barber-style shaving and edging.
Do shavettes use normal double edge blades?
Some shavettes use half of a standard double edge blade, but not all. Feather Artist Club razors use dedicated Artist Club blades, so always check the product page before buying replacements.
Do I need a strop for a straight razor?
Yes, a fixed-blade straight razor should be stropped before shaving to keep the edge aligned. Shavettes do not need a strop because the blade is replaced.
Which open-blade razor is best for beginners?
Many beginners find a shavette easier because there is no honing or stropping. Use a light touch, keep the shaving angle shallow and choose the correct compatible blade for the razor.

Amazing razor. Very close shave and great feeling using it. It should last forever
Great quality and pairs beautifully with the Henson Razor
Just thought I would do an update. I tried one of the free RK blades today, terrible. You will not appreciate how good this razor is with these blades. If you are new to DE shaving DO GET Astra blades. My previous review was with my usual Astra blades, superb and a completly different shave with these blades. Have yet to try my Feather blades but expecting great results with those too. Male Grooming Supplies, why are you promoting such a poor blade with such a great shaver. If its Henson doing this, tell them. At the very least throw in a pack of Astras for anyone new to shaving. This review is here to help you. Its a BRILLIANT shave, with the right blade.
Great shave, great service. This Henson medium is a lovely razor and easy to get used to its design. Only downside is it doesn’t stand up, but that’s not going to take away from how good it is or the helpful conversation I had with the customer support team
Seems expensive at first , but when you get the sheath , superior materials and it is a life long purchase after all it ain’t that bad . Prefer it to my futur which I’ve used for 7 years ( set on 1 to avoid knicks ) as it’s a bit more nimble . Feels great in the hand and is top quality .
Been wanting to move away from disposable razors for use on my head and was recommended the AL13. It’s epic…
Very well made travel brush tube
I had a different version of this razor a few years ago and having liked the design and look I thought I'll take a gamble and buy the real thing as it's so appealing to look at. I've read many reviews and even watched YouTube videos about this razor so I've done me homework. My first shave with it was on setting 1.5 as I thought I'll take it easy and slow till I get the feel of the razor. I done a wtg then xtg using a derby premium blade then I changed it to the Merkur blade supplied for the 3rd pass atg as the Derby was struggling a bit as I had a week's growth. I waited 3 days before I had my second shave with it and this time I put it on setting 3 for wtg then 2 for xtg and finally 1 for atg using a Gillette Wilkinson saloon blade and the shave was so satisfying, smooth and a bbs. It's a hefty razor so a gentle touch is all that's needed with zero pressure and this razor sings to you as it takes your whiskers off with ease. So glad I bought it as it's a keeper for sure and as I'm not a daily shaver this serves my needs perfectly. If I go a full week again without shaving I'll go even higher like a 4 or 5 on the settings and take my time. To me shaving is not to be rushed but enjoyed by taking your time and this razor seems perfect to me for that. The very reasonable price was a deciding factor in me buying this razor with a 10% off at checkout plus the despatch and delivery was spot on. 😀👍
