Frequently Asked Questions
If you've never used a shavette before and wonder whether the Universal is for beginners, the answer depends on your experience. Universal shavettes are made entirely from stainless steel with noticeable weight in the hand, which helps with control — but they don't forgive technique mistakes the way a lighter shavette might. If you already have experience with a safety razor, you can handle it.
If you've tried plastic shavettes and the blade wobbled or you didn't feel in control, the Universal is an entirely different experience. The full stainless steel construction provides stability and weight similar to a straight razor, the blade sits firmly with no movement, and the balance in the hand makes every pass more precise.
If you don't want to hunt for special blades, the Universal accepts regular double-edge blades — either full or snapped in half, depending on the model. That means you use the blades you already like and simply swap them after each shave or every couple of uses.
If you think Universal shavettes are only for barbers, in reality many wet shavers use them at home. The feel is very close to a classic straight razor but without the cost and maintenance — swap the blade, shave, done. Hygiene is guaranteed without any honing or stropping.
If you're wondering which to pick, the main difference is in weight and feel. The Universal is heavier, made entirely from steel, and gives a feel closer to a real straight razor. The Vanta is lighter with a plastic handle and at a more accessible price point. If you want a premium feel, Universal — if you want value for money, Vanta.
At HairMaker.Gr you'll find Universal shavettes in full blade and half blade versions, along with shaving accessories. Delivery is available throughout Greece, Cyprus and with worldwide shipping wherever you are.

Universal | Italian Stainless Steel Shavettes
Universal is an Italian shavette brand built entirely from stainless steel. Unlike most shavettes on the market that use plastic handles, Universal bets on weight, balance and solidity — qualities that bring it much closer to the feel of a classic straight razor.
What sets Universal shavettes apart is the build quality. The blade sits securely with no wobble, the weight balance in the hand allows precise movements, and the steel durability guarantees a long lifespan even with daily professional use. They accept standard DE blades, so there's no need for proprietary refills.
The range includes full blade (lama intera) and half blade (mezza lama) models, depending on technique and preference. This is the shavette that many experienced wet shavers choose when they want something that feels like a straight razor without the maintenance — swap the blade, shave, done.
