Using a shavette can seem intimidating at first, but with the right technique, it can become a satisfying part of your grooming routine. Here’s how to get started:
The Royal Silver & Obsidian Black shavette by Brent Berkeley® are a couple stylish, premium quality open razors for both enthusiasts & professional barbers. These are the latest models for 2022. Designed in Venice, Italy.
The shavette features an elegant, smooth design that offers excellent handling. The lemmet of the razor is made of a robust, stainless steel featuring a two-pin design.This design makes blade replacement easily and keeps the single-edge blades perfectly in place, ensuring a clean and comfortable shave, time after time again.
The handle of the razor is made of sheesham wood. Sheesham wood is a hardy, strong and durable wood, making it an excellent wood for a shavette. Due to the wood’s natural grain patterns, each of our shavettes has a unique and beautiful pattern.
The two parts are held together by an adjustable pivot point, so you can easily tighten or loosen the shavette’s shaft according to your own preferences. The pivot point is beautifully engraved with the B.B. wolf-emblem as a stamp of quality.
Due to the interchangeable single-edge blades, you’ll always have a sharp razor on hand, never having to compromise on quality. The blade system also offers a sustainable and more enjoyable alternative to single-use razors.
The Obsidian Black & Royal Silver shavettes are created for gentlemen who have less time on their hands, but still like to enjoy the experience of classic shaving. The design & shaving experience of the razors do not only make the shavette an indispensable tool, but a stylish accessory that is worthy of being put on display, wherever you take it.

Shaving with an open razor is not as common as with most modern shaving equipment. To make sure that people who buy an open razor from us know how to handle it, Brent Berkeley offers shaving training given by master barber Daniël van der Putten.
In the world of grooming, the shavette is a tool that combines the precision of a straight razor with the convenience and safety of disposable blades. If you're looking for a sharp, clean shave that offers control and style, the shavette might just be your perfect match. In this comprehensive guide, we'll delve into everything you need to know about using a shavette, including frequently asked questions, expert tips, and valuable insights that will elevate your shaving experience to a professional level.
A shavette is a type of razor that closely resembles a traditional straight razor but uses disposable blades. This design eliminates the need for honing and stropping, making it an excellent choice for those who want the experience of a straight razor without the maintenance. The shavette is particularly popular among barbers and home users who appreciate its sharpness, precision, and hygiene benefits.
The quality of materials used in the construction of a shavette is a good indicator of its durability. Stainless steel is a popular choice for the blade holder, as it resists rust and corrosion. The handle can be made from various materials, including plastic, wood, or metal. The Brent Berkeley shavettes offer a good grip and feel comfortable in your hand.
The weight and balance of a shavette are critical for control and precision. A well-balanced razor will feel natural in your hand and make the shaving process smoother. Some users prefer heavier shavettes for the extra control, while others prefer a lighter model for ease of use. At Brent Berkeley we offer both options.
Yes, a shavette can be suitable for beginners, but it requires a steady hand and some practice. Start slowly, and focus on mastering the correct angle and pressure. The learning curve is manageable, and many find it rewarding.
It’s recommended to change the blade after every 3-4 shaves, or sooner if you notice any tugging or discomfort. A fresh blade ensures a smooth, clean shave and minimizes the risk of irritation.
Yes, a shavette can be used for head shaving, but caution is advised. The scalp is more sensitive and prone to nicks. Take your time, use a quality shaving cream, and consider using shorter strokes.
For the best results, use a high-quality shaving cream or gel that provides ample lubrication. Additionally, aftershave with soothing ingredients like aloe vera can help calm the skin post-shave.
While both offer a close shave, a shavette provides more precision and control, making it ideal for detailed work. However, a safety razor might be more forgiving for those with sensitive skin.
Yes, shavettes can be used on sensitive skin, but it’s important to use a high-quality shaving cream and ensure the blade is sharp. A dull blade can tug at the skin and cause irritation.
