Title: Dovo Head Shaver
Post by: Antimidas on August 02, 2009, 01:50:53 PM

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.

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.
