I own and have been using straight razors for years. I figured I would try a shavette for those times when I dont feel or have the time to strop or touch up the edge on the standard straight edge. I bought two of them to see which one I would like. Both are the &#34;push type.&#34;<br />This one is all coated metal and is heavier than my standard straights. Even heavier than my Spartacus str8s. But the main reason I am writing this review is how even the blade sits in this unit. With this unit the blade fits perfectly even in the holder. The heavier metal really holds the blade in place beautifully tight and perfectly exposed. The other shavette I got was the cut throat with a multi colored wood handle from Ebay for $15.<br />The handle was nice but the blade holder metal was quite a bit thinner and the edge of the blade was not evenly exposed. That is because the two metal edges where the blade comes through are not even. One edge is higher than the other and not parallel from one side to the other. As the metal is thin, I tried to bend the two edges so they would line up better. No luck. Once metal is bent, it is hardened. Summary, this Matte slide out is a higher quality unit with quality control that is necessary for the blade to be exposed evenly.  Fun to shave with and convenient.
