Thread: Dove shavette opinions

I was recently given a package by a (non SR using) friend. She said,"Here, I bought this for you in an auction". I opened it up and inside was a shavette-type razor. My first thought was,"Wow, what a nice thought", followed closely by,"Why would anyone bother to buy such a piece of tinny, plasticky, low-quality Chinese crap such as this". It just felt awful to the touch, oozing cheapness. I turn it over and low and behold, its actually an original Dovo shavette! I looked them up on eBay and they want US$30 for one! I have an all stainless shavette type I bought for US$10 and came with 10 free blades (pictured below with the Dovo). Its the only shavette type I use and is of much higher quality. It originally had a stainless comb-like attachment on it, which acted as a type of safety device. Anyway, I'm interested to hear what others think of the Dovo shavettes, good or bad?
The Dovo is on the right. The red piece of plastic is the blade holder for it. On the left is the shavette type I normally use if I'm using one at all. Sitting by it is the blade it takes. In the second photo the blade is mounted and you can see how much clearance there is between the blade and the holder, which makes it easy to lay the razor at a lower angle to the face. With the Dovo, how low you can go is restricted by the holder.
