INT'L CUSTOMERS; Unless your order's >$400 or has at least one item explicitly stating "includes EMS express mail", free tracking is NOT included-you must optionally elect to purchase it (if you want it). Service ranges 7-90 days and there's absolutely no way to find out what's going on.
We'll happily accept small orders from all over earth, however...
PURCHASE WITHOUT TRACKING = YOU ASSUME ALL RISK OF LOSS
We've no option to add any tracking to regular 1st class int'l mail (domestic packages now get this for free).
So far (>7000 att. @ this writing), overall risk of disappearance is ~0.46%, with Western Europe/Great Britain/Canada closer to ~0.2% and Australia/New Zealand thus far perfect with well over 1000 combined attempts.
I can't offer Registered Mail anymore-it takes too long hand-writing 3 forms, sealing a box with water-activated tape, and queueing up at the post office...time's just too valued. We instead offer to partially subsidize EMS Express Mail's high cost, which is always a minimum of $38(and moves up based on a weight in a jiffy!).
The option buys speed & safety, but only you can decide if it is worth it to you. Minimum order value of $100 to elect this option.

The Dovo 'Shavette' is their brand of "barber razor", which is just something that allows you to use double-edge safety razor blades in the same manner that we straight razor folks use straight razors. Dovo also makes a specific single-edge razor blade just for these Shavette models, with a longer blade edge. If you're curious about how it feels to use a straight razor, these will get you half of the way there. They allow you to be the master of the blade's angle of incidence to the skin, something that has a limited range with safety razors-there might be a spot or two on your face where the best blade performance would occur with the blade nearly parallel or perpendicular to the skin, and the Shavette will give you that control. They don't allow you to be the boss over the blade's condition as you can be with a "real" straight razor, but you don't have any of the upkeep involved with using a regular straight, either. Each model comes with a #201003 red blade holder, which is the default mechanism that accepts a half of a regular "DE" blade (just snap the blade in two and it pops right in). The #201014 black blade holder accepts the Merkur 10-pack shavette "long" blades (product code #90910013). The Shavette does the same thing as many other barber razors; holds a DE or single-edge blade taut for you to be the boss of. It is certainly far better made than the Derby Barber Razor we carry, a far more substantial thing, but to be fair I believe I could get a great shave with either (I'd just enjoy the experience much more with this one). |
