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.
