Reminds me of an even more minimal version Dovo Flowing ... which I have been dying to purchase from this shop down the road
That was easy ...
Dovo Palisander from The Superior Shave?

I don't like the Flowing's spine. The etching I like, though.

It appears that the Palisander's are back in stock if anyone is still interested.
It does look really good at a very decent price for a new straight... so tempting!
well, apparently my wife doesn't love me. i just looked at the email i sent her a few weeks ago, and i told her to get #3 for some reason. so i guess that means she's not getting me the razor.
Looks like they are back in stock
I ordered one of these from Jarrod earlier in the week (#24 in the set off memory). I can't speak for the quality of the razor since it hasn't arrived but I am extremely excited to receive a package in the mail!
This I will say too: As a guy living in Australia, free worldwide shipping makes The Superior Shave a go-to vendor for me. That's a heck of a deal.

I really like the look of that Palisander - I've just been put off by having to take the risk of possible loss in International mail (and insured mail is way too expensive).
I do eventually want to add a nice Dovo to my selection, and I love that shape - I might end up getting a Bismarck instead, even though I'm less keen on its ornate decoration.

The Carre fits between the two in terms of ornamentation. I just don't have much interest in a laser etched spine, or I might have picked up one of those over the Palisander.
That's true, yes. I agree about the laser etching, though - not overly keen on it. But at least it hasn't got gold all over it.

A little sandpaper can fix that.
Hehe, yes - hadn't thought of that
I might just take the shipping risk one of these days, cos for me the Palisander is by far the best-looking Dovo I've seen - and Jarrod says nothing has ever gone missing so far on its way to the UK.
I agree the scale craftsmanship is at the very least a step up

Ask me about shaving naked!
Got mine today, pretty nice. No shave yet, but the edge Jarrod put on it is HHT 4 or plus. Should shave nicely.

Got mine Christmas Eve, 3 days from TSS to Knoxville, that's typical and not bad for the holiday rush. Has a nice edge to boot.

Boo I'm not getting one now... I paid or at least I thought I did... Got the invoice via email, but nothing ended up being charged to my card and they can't find my invoice number on file... So I guess I'm not going to get a palisander anymore...at first I was upset especially since the guy on the phone was kinda in helpful and lazy... It's a sign ... Instead I took the money and bought a heljestrand mk31 for less money... I think it was a better use of funds seeing as I already have the Bismarck and it's a better razor
My Palisander was the first razor I bought after a very long, many year hiatus from straight razors (my first ever was a Hoffritz which I somehow lost, sigh.)
It has proven to be an excellent razor. Good edge, fine aesthetics, decent price. A little Ballistol (or similar oil) should be used here though because it can be prone to rusting more easily than my other blades for some reason. Those little silicone bags Jarrod sells are quite effective and well worth the cost.

Can anyone give me feedback on buying from superior shave??
