The Goodfellas’ Smile Shibumi Kamisori is a Japanese style straight razor with replaceable blades, designed to elevate your shaving experience in numerous ways. The Shibumi works with both standard half razor blades and half cut double edge blades from any brand. After selecting the ideal blade for your skin, it is expertly designed for maximum comfort and ease of use.

This razor is forged from a single curved piece of steel, embodying simplicity, precision, balance, and control. Coated with rust-resistant industrial “black” Teflon, Shibumi is both durable and sleek.

The handle is hand-wrapped by skilled craftsmen for a secure grip during shaving. Its fixed design offers a simple, easy-to-control shaving experience.

Specifications:

  • Weight: 44g

  • Length: 17cm

How to Use: For optimal results, start by wetting The Goodfellas’ Smile shaving cloth or towel under hot water. After wringing out, press it onto your face for a few minutes to soften the beard and reduce the risk of irritation or nicks. Post-shave, repeat this process for soothing results.

How to Insert a New Blade:

  1. Break the Blade: Take one blade from the double-blade pack and, while still in the wrapper, fold it lengthwise. Apply pressure to snap it into two equal halves.

  2. Load the Blade: Remove the detachable clutch from the razor head by pushing it outward. Position the half-blade on the clutch pins, which will hold it securely. Gently reinsert the clutch into the razor head.

  3. Enjoy Your Shave!

Shibumi is crafted to deliver a distinctive, effective, and pleasurable shaving experience.

Its where the weight is.

So 4 stars. For the price, the weight, design, everything is flush and smooth. Atleast mine is. Its a slide razor that looks like a kamisori. So there is a slide holder for the razor. It is not a pinch so im dissapointed. The weight is good! However, its all in the back and not in the razor handle where it needs to be. It feels good in the hand, but if it were heavier at the head it would be a solid 5x5. All around its cool. Kai standard is what i use normally. Thanks

FAQs

What is a Shavette vs. straight razor?

A shavette is a type of straight razor that uses disposable blades, while traditional straight razors feature fixed blades that require regular stropping and honing. Shavettes provide the precision of a straight razor with the added convenience of replaceable blades.

Both options deliver a classic barbershop-style shave, allow for precise beard edges, and are ideal for anyone looking to fully embrace a traditional shaving ritual.

Why shave with a Shavette?

Shavettes provide several advantages, including:

  • Precise control for detailed grooming
  • No need for blade maintenance or sharpening
  • More hygienic due to disposable blades
  • Cost-effective compared to traditional straight razors
  • Ideal for travel

Can you get a good shave with a Shavette?

Yes, one can achieve an excellent shave with a shavette. With proper technique, a shavette can deliver a close, smooth shave comparable to that of a traditional straight razor. This makes it suitable not only for facial shaving but also as an effective head shaver.

What angle do you hold a shavette?

Starting by laying the shavette almost flat against your skin is a great way to begin. Place the blade nearly flush, then gradually tilt it to a slight angle, around 10-15 degrees, for the first few strokes. This helps you get a feel for the blade’s movement without risking cuts. Once you’re comfortable with the pressure and motion, slowly adjust the angle to the recommended 20-30 degrees for a closer shave.

Starting flat not only gives more control but also minimizes irritation, making it easier to learn the right technique safely.

Should I start with a Shavette?

For those new to straight razor-style shaving, a shavette can be an excellent starting point. It offers a similar experience to a straight razor but with less maintenance and a lower initial cost. However, it's crucial to learn proper technique and take care when using any sharp implement on your skin, especially when using it as a head shaver.

How often do you change the blade on a Shavette?

The frequency of blade changes depends on several factors, such as hair or beard thickness and density, shaving frequency, and personal preference for sharpness. On average, changing the blade every 3-5 shaves is recommended to maintain optimal performance and hygiene. However, some users may prefer to change the blade more frequently for the sharpest possible shave, particularly if using it as a head shaver.
