Imported from DOVO, Solingen, GermanyIt has an aluminum blade carrier that holder(Color May Vary) fit intoThe holder adapts to all brands of standard double edge bladesThe holder color can either be Black or Red.
The Superior Shave has the entire line of Dovo Shavettes here: http://thesuperiorshave.com/dovo_shavette_razors.html
I went with the stainless steel handle because it was balanced best. The plastic handles are very light. I recommend the following:
"The #201087 Shavette has a satin-finished stainless steel handle, an aluminum 'blade holder holder' (the thing that holds the red/black/green plastic blade holder), and comes with a red #201003 blade holder and one single Merkur DE blade. Use any old DE blades. Minus a blade, the razor with handle weighs ~20g.

Amazon alternative (but only ONE sleeve and it's more expensive): http://www.amazon.com/Dovo-Silver-Shavette-Straight-Holder-Matt/dp/B001ASOD86/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1368288927&sr=8-1&keywords=dovo
Alternatively, you could always check out the Sight Unseen Deal with a Poor Man's Strop from Whipped Dog. Personally, I couldn't deal with a "flawed" razor that I've never seen. However, they supposedly shave extremely well and people love them.
I see this in stock at amazon. You think it's worth the $25 to try it out?
For those who like to live dangerously, try this.
Well if we're going to go around quoting from that thread:
I have no strop, only a straight razor from dovo, this one: http://www.amazon.com/Dovo-Silver-Shavette-Straight-Holder-Matt/dp/B001ASOD86/ref=sr_1_2_a_it?ie=UTF8&qid=1461162769&sr=8-2&keywords=dovo+straight+razor
Maybe your "sophsticated advice" should include an explanation of how to strop that bad boy. I've never been clear myself - do you use the expensive Japanese paddle strop before or after you've put the DE blade in it?
Here is that same Shavette but a different color for less moola... http://www.amazon.com/Dovo-Silver-Shavette-Straight-Holder-Matt/dp/B001ASOD86/ref=lh_ni_t
$25 to your door. I have this one, used it twice so fa,r and I really really like it.
I get my col. conk's glycerin soaps on amazon.
I used to get my derby blades there, but seeing as I no longer need them, I won't be doing that any more.
When I started I got my Dovo Shavette there, with no issues.
The bowl and brush set I got is just mediocre and i honestly wouldn't recommend it for beginners or seasoned users.
Honestly, you can find deals just as good or better in other places, but amazon is just that easy.
I thought it was plenty sturdy when using it. My biggest problem with it was my lack of experience holding and positioning the razor itself, but I think it would be an issue with any straight I pick up right now. Here is the actual listing I ordered from. The picture has the green holder, but it comes with a red and two black (one black is combed). It also came with two long blades and a normal DE blade. This is the razor sampler I got with it. I can't comment much, other than they're all there and were packaged well.
