Shaving Hardware Comparison Guide

  • Hollow-Ground Straight Razor vs. DOVO Shavette: Traditional DOVO Solingen Straight Razors feature a permanent, full hollow-ground high-carbon steel blade maintained on a leather strop for a 100-year heirloom ritual. A DOVO Shavette handles identically to a folding straight razor but uses snapped disposable half-DE bladesβ€”giving barbers and beard stylists zero-stropping hygiene for crisp cheek and neck lineups.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is a round head straight razor?

A round head features a curved tip with no sharp points. It is considered the most forgiving blade shape, making it highly recommended for beginners learning the angles of a traditional wet shave.

How do I care for a Carbon Steel razor blade?

Carbon steel takes a much sharper edge than stainless steel, but it is highly susceptible to rust. You must rinse it with warm water, dry it completely with a towel (never rub the cutting edge), and apply a light coat of mineral or camellia oil before storing it.

Expert Knowledge Base & Buyer Protection

How does Free Global Shipping over $75 CAD work, and do you ship to the USA, Europe, Nordics, and worldwide?+

Yes! All orders dispatch from our Canadian warehouse in Chestermere, Alberta. Orders over $75 CAD (or the equivalent in your local currency) qualify for Free Standard Global Shipping Worldwide ($15 CAD flat rate under $75 CAD). Standard shipping is tracked wherever available through destination postal/courier networks, and ships via reliable International Air Mail where tracked service is not available. Need faster delivery? You can select our Paid Express Courier Upgrade at checkout. Please note: International orders outside Canada ship Delivered Duty Unpaid (DDU); the recipient is responsible for local import VAT/GST and customs clearance fees. Refusing a parcel at customs results in actual round-trip courier return fees being deducted from your refund.

What is your return policy, 12-hour cancellation window, and 24-hour transit damage protocol?+

Orders operate on a strict 12-hour cancellation window from the time of purchase before locking for warehouse fulfillment. Unused, unwashed, factory-sealed items in their original packaging may be returned within 30 days of delivery via an authorized RMA (subject to a 10% inspection/restocking fee; original and return shipping costs are non-refundable). Strict Hygiene Final-Sale Rule: Any grooming tool, razor, blade pack, brush, soap, skincare product, or hydration/cooking/dining vessel that has been unsealed, rinsed, washed, or used is 100% Final Sale. In the rare event of courier transit damage, you must notify us within 24 hours of the carrier delivery timestamp with clear photos of the damaged item, the outer shipping box, and the courier shipping label.

Why choose SAMA Homes for authorized wet-shaving and professional barbering hardware?+

SAMA Homes is an official authorized stockist for Henson Shaving, Rockwell Razors, Merkur Solingen, DOVO Solingen, Feather Japan, Wahl Professional, Andis, BaBylissPRO, StyleCraft, JRL, and Hanz de Fuko, plus 100-pack saloon blade refills (Feather, Astra, RK, Derby). Helpful Hardware Tips: (1) On Henson razors, ensure the scalloped lather channels on the baseplate face UP toward the blade during assembly so the blade edge engages properly; (2) On DOVO carbon-steel straight razors, blot the blade dry after every shave and store outside steamy bathrooms to prevent oxidation.

Are DOVO straight razors shave-ready out of the box?+

Handcrafted in Solingen, Germany, DOVO straight razors are factory-honed to an exceptionally sharp edge. However, we highly recommend stropping the blade on a premium leather strop before your very first shave to perfectly align the microscopic fin for maximum comfort.

Should I choose a carbon steel or stainless steel DOVO razor?+

Carbon steel blades are traditional, easier to hone, and hold a finer edge, but require meticulous drying and oiling to prevent rust. Stainless steel blades are highly corrosion-resistant and require less maintenance, making them ideal for humid bathroom environments.

How do I maintain and prevent my DOVO straight razor from rusting?+

Always rinse the blade with warm water and thoroughly dry the entire razor immediately after shaving. For carbon steel models, apply a light coat of camellia oil or mineral oil before storing it in a dry, well-ventilated space to prevent oxidation.
