Hey it's Thomas from buystraightrazors.co. So today, um, I'm going to be talking about
the black insert for the dovo shavette. You might have seen me uh... shave my face with
it and my head with it on some of my...my other videos and so if you take a closer look
at it, on this side, there's actually some small, little like uh... knobs that have been
formed into it. There's one on this side and there's one in the middle and then there's
one, one right here. And then on the opposite side of it there's three holes and so those
correspond with holes on the blade and uh... here's a blade for the dovo shavette. Now
um... typically when you buy these uh... they come in packs of ten and so you'll get ten
of these in a pack and what you do is you snap these in half and use one side for the
blade. So in reality your...when you buy a pack you actually get uh...uh... twenty blades
for it. So now, if you notice um... the holes they're not uh... equally spaced so these
two holes right here they're a little bit closer together than these two holes. So there's
actually only one way that you can um... put it into the insert.
You just slide it in like that and then once it's lined up you just fold it over and its
closed and after you close it it's just a matter of sliding it into the handle and then
you're ready to shave with it. uh... the biggest difference between the um... red insert and
the black insert is the length of the blades. uh... on your red inserts they'll usually
only come to about here so they're about half the length of this and so what this means
is um... with the black insert since the blades longer you cover more of your face and so
you can shave a little bit faster uh... same things true with your head if you shave your
head with it like me uh... you cover more surf... more surface area faster. um... the
downside to that longer blade is that's just more blade in contact with your skin, uh more
blade contact means uh... more of a chance to cut yourself if you're not um... paying
attention to what you're doing. Another thing to notice is the blade comes all the way to,
like, right here and if you see my thumb, my thumb is just sitting right there, so if
you're not careful your thumb might slip and go along the edge of a blade and it really
doesn't take a whole lot of pressure to cut yourself with these blades cause they're extremely
sharp.
and uh...
in case you're wondering, you can't really interchang... you can't really put this blade
in a red insert. You can't really put the uh.. DE blades for the red inserts into this
one it's just not gonna work out uh... really well uh... so for a pack of ten uh... you
you lookin at uh.. fifteen bucks give or take like two to three dollars depending on what
website you are buying from and the black insert will usually run you about two to three
bucks and uh... the websites you can buy the shavettes from um... the websites that sell
straight razors or wet shaving uh... they'll usually sell the shavette uh... some of them
call them... are listed under like no sharpen straight razor uhhh... other ones list them
under shavette or dovo shavette and uh... let's see, what else?
I think that's about it I feel like I'm forgetting something... oh yeah yeah um... but basically
uh... if you're watching this on my website uh... just scroll down and you'll be able
to see some links of some websites where you can buy it from uh... if you're watching this
video on youtube at the end of the video I'll put in a link uh... to my website just click
on that link and then it'll take you to the website and then there'll be links on where
you can buy um... the black insert or shavette if you don't have a shavette along with the
blades for it.
So have a good day. Talk to you later. Bye.
