This affordable, high quality straight razor uses disposable blades, so there's no need to purchase a hone, strop or any of the other gear. Because it's virtually maintenance free, it's well suited to those who are just starting out, travel regularly or don't want the difficulty and expense usually involved in caring for a traditional straight razor. When the blade gets dull, just remove it and insert a new one. Features a satin stainless steel handle and aluminum shank for lightweight durability and includes one free Double Edge Blade to get you started. Made in Germany by Dovo Solingen and covered by a 2 Year Australian Warranty.

PLEASE NOTE: This razor comes with a Red Sleeve and takes Double Edge Blades by default. If you want to use the Long Dovo Shavette Blades with this razor, you will need to purchase a Black Sleeve (sold separately).

First off this is my first straight razor so from a total novice i quite liked it.
Being light i found it allowed me to get the angles a bit more accurate and maintain control.
Down side is being light you will use a bit more pressure to cut through the growth. Once your use to the weight and shaving angles switch from the supplied Dovo blade to a sharper blade.

Ahh the Dovo Shavette. I'll get the fact that I can't compare this to a real straight, but I can compare to the Feather Artist Club. I've had this razor sitting in my kit for a couple months now and its just entered regular rotation in preparation for some travel.

The first thing that struck me about it in comparison to the Artist Club is its weight. It's very very light and small. Not necessarily a bad thing but I had to adjust how I held the thing. Adding a blade is a relatively simple affair if you're careful. Pull out red sleeve, snap blade, put half in place, slide back in. Simple, unless you somehow manage to cut yourself snapping a blade.

Onto the shave. The first shave with this thing was terrible. Had it loaded with 1/2 a Red Persona and it just grabbed and didn't cut smoothly. Tried again and this time loaded up 1/2 a feather blade, and tried again. This time it gave a smooth shave.

Using the sharper blade helped a lot as there is not much weight in this razor. The shorter blade length means a couple more passes than with a longer straight, but no different to a DE.

It's not a razor for everyone, and I don't know if it'd be the razor I'd recommend to someone looking for a disposable blade straight. But it's definitely fulfilling its purchased goal of a small travel razor admirably.
