Looks too complicated trying to figure out which finger goes in which loop.

Hey Warhawk, I have seen that razor a long time ago. I don't think that I'd try it myself, because one ot the key features of the HeadBlade Classic is the plastic nub on the back, it helps to prevent putting too much unwanted pressure which could lead to cuts. The same is true with the Sport model however instead of a plastic nub you have wheels, which basicly do the same thing as the nub, accept the wheels allow the HeadBlade glide accross your dome much nicer that the nub.
I don't see such a feature on this razor, I think that you will end up putting too much pressure directly on the blade and ooohhhh the pain!!

I've actually had one of these in my hands but I've never tried it on my head.  The one thing that was pointed out to me was that the adaptor that holds the blade on doesn't fit on the Dovo very well.  So, the razor is really loose.  Also, to Tom's point, there wasn't a piece to help balance the pressure on your scalp.

These have been around for a while. Not very good from what I understand.

Looks like it would make a wonderful piece of modern art, but it's not something I'd want to let near my head.

Hey Warhawk...I got one of these Dovo head shavers about three weeks ago and I've used it about two or three times.  The shave is real close...probably because of the high quality Merkur blades that I ordered along with it.  Problem is...I never used it and finished "nick-free."  It's a tricky gadget and, in my opinion, not as good as the headblade.  It is a neat-looking little thing and certainly worth twenty bucks if you want to add something to your head-shaving gear bag.
Smoothly,
Uncle Fester
