So I'm looking for a solid shavette that wont break the bank, and by break the bank I mean if I can buy a reputable straight for price of a shavette I'm not interested (in other words I am aware the Feather system exists).

Right now I have been looking at the Dovo stainless and the Parker SR1. The thing that apeals to me with the dovo is the fact that it can use different length blades. The thing that apeals to me about the Parker is the way the blade locks in.

So a few questions: first what are the weights of these two? if you only own 1 of them can you post the weight sans blade, if you own both obviously post both. Second, are there any issues with the blade holder of the parker or dovo? does the dovo just slide in or does it click into place or otherwise held in by some type of retension? Lastly, any other pros and cons between the two?

Thanks for all your help,
Scottie
I started with a Parker PT and don't regret it at all. I still have, but don't use it anymore. Well sometimes I use use it to trim the hair on the back of my arms and my neck.
I bought it from Barber Razors | BestGroomingTools.com . That was about 13 months ago.

I hesitate to comment on the Dovo's as I only have used an actual straight from them and not the shavette; but I would image you would be happy with quality from them. You can use the shorter half DE blade or with an adapter the single edge Feather Artist Club blade.

I went the ultra cheap route as I was using the shavette to learn angles. If you are wanting to stay with a shavette, then I would pony up the extra $20 and get the Dovo.

I hope my two cents help.
Cheers,
John
