The Dovo 'Shavette' is their brand of "barber razor", which is just something that allows you to use double-edge safety razor blades in the same manner that we straight razor folks use straight razors. Dovo also makes a specific single-edge razor blade just for these Shavette models, with a longer blade edge. If you're curious about how it feels to use a straight razor, these will get you half of the way there. They allow you to be the master of the blade's angle of incidence to the skin, something that has a limited range with safety razors-there might be a spot or two on your face where the best blade performance would occur with the blade nearly parallel or perpendicular to the skin, and the Shavette will give you that control. They don't allow you to be the boss over the blade's condition as you can be with a "real" straight razor, but you don't have any of the upkeep involved with using a regular straight, either. Each model comes with a #201003 red blade holder, which is the default mechanism that accepts a half of a regular "DE" blade (just snap the blade in two and it pops right in). The #201004 black blade holder accepts the Merkur 10-pack shavette "long" blades (product code #201014). The Shavette does the same thing as many other barber razors; holds a DE or single-edge blade taut for you to be the boss of. It is certainly far better made than the cheaper barber razors out there, a far more substantial thing, but to be fair I believe I could get a great shave with any of them (I'd just enjoy the experience much more with this one). |

Unfortunately the minimum cost to post something internationally has recently raised by 219%, making the value of the international postage an enormous percentage of the goods' value here, exposing the ludicrousness of the phrase "Free Shipping" to any thinking man or woman (unfortunately most consumers aren't so pragmatic, so we-and many other more enormous retailers-perpetuate the "Free Shipping" myth...in my head it is just "inclusive pricing"). As not to pay you to accept our goods, we now have conditional pricing for int'l purchase. | ||

| The #2010003 Red Shavette Blade Holder is supplied with every model; maybe you lost one, broke it, or just want two. We get a lot of barbers buying multiples of these things, and they by and large tell that while these holders rarely break, for $3 a pop new they become too cumbersome to clean to make it worth their time.
