Now there is a razor for you.  Unfortunately, they don't mention replacement blades anywhere.

I think if you were looking at getting that you should just get the headblade.  I think its much more easier to control with the back of it always touching your head.

Got one.  But Dovo's are supposedly superior shaving instruments, so I was just thinking about it.  And the fact that it is all steel, so it will never break or anything....  Just a thought.

I don't think you'd be impressed with it.  The adapter that is used is the same as the headblade, but it doesn't fit snug, so there is a lot of play with the blade that I think could lead to many cuts.
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.

Just the tip I was looking for.  Thanks!  I will save my $22.

Not that I am affiliated with the classic shaving site, but I have bought strops and other products for my straight razors before from them and I have always had great service.  Yes, I periodically use my great grandfathers straight razor, but trust me.  Nobody here wants me using that on their head.  I need lots of practice before I even consider trying it on my head.
