This stunning shavette from the open razor experts at Dovo is practical, stylish and affordable. It's use of inexpensive double edge razor blades eliminates the need to purchase the hone, strop, and most of the other accessories typically required when entering the world of cut throat shaving.
Comes with red plastic holder designed to fit double edge razor blades (snapped in half) and a free double edged blade.
For guidelines on how to shave with a shavette please see our "How to use a Straight/Cut-Throat Razor" section of our FAQ, remembering that you won't need to strop or hone a shavette!
Have any burning questions you would like ask our wet shaving expert Aaron Wolfenbarger? Is shaving lather really important? Should I shave with or against the grain? What causes razor bumps and how can I get rid of them? Feel free to ask any pressing question you want answering.
Author: Harry Hornsey This is my first step into the world of straight-razor shaving after using DE's for a while.
The Dovo Shavette is well made and easy to maintain. The blade is held tightly in the red plastic holder and is easy to change and keep clean. This is a very light shavette and takes some getting used to - you have to apply far less pressure than you feel you should and maintain a good angle. Take care!!! This is very unforgiving, sharper than a normal straight and oh so easy to cut your self with. This said it has only taken a few attempts to get cut-free, comfortable and extremely close shaves.
I highly recommend it to any one with the patience and courage to go for that extra close morning shave.
Thanks, Harry.
Author: Gary Stanton I brought the Dovo of Solingen Shavette (Polished Steel Handle) a couple of years ago from another wed site before shave shack started to stock it. The weight is ideal if you prefer a heavier razor , loading the razor is simple and quick ,also the razor holds the blade firm for a safe shave .If you like the idea of shaving with a straight/ cut throat razor but have not the time or skill (like me) to strop and sharpen a full straight razor then this is for you . The polished handle gives it a clean medical feel that is easy to clean and looks classy in you shave den . Agreat razor for them nice relaxing shaves
