Thread: dovo shavette..blade advice

hello i have boght a dovo shavette...wow what a close shave!!! the blade are dovo ..it is ok for me... i have a very hard beard...... i d like to try another blade...which are better for my beard?

thanks

Feather blades are the sharpest. Does your shavette have the insert for the DE blades that are cut in half lengthwise? or the longer DE-type blades?

I always wanted a shavette so I could try a feather but I'm noob myself so I'm just assuming a feather would be best for a dense heavy beard like mine.

All I can tell you is cottonblossom.com has a great deal on feathers: 100 for $24 before shipping. Consider throwing a slant bar on there if your still in to DE razors

The longer blades are prolly nicer but I think they run more $$ and I don't think feather makes them.

Wait till some other more experienced people chime in before buying those feathers.

feather makes the longer style blades, but they don't fit in the blade holders. however, they work in the fromm hair shaper/shavettes sold by classicshaving.com

i've never used the DE splits in my shavettes, but for what it's worth, the fromm long-blades and feathers shave about the same. and the dovo shavette is far better than the flimsy fromm shavette.
