At the height of popularity of the websites such as The Haircut Site https://web.archive.org/web/20010204070000/http://www.thcsite.com/new/_guide/guide.html (which, this Blog https://members.boardhost.com/buzzlifeboard/ is the only surviving offspring of The Haircut Site), the “House of Wyatt”, a website run by a Radio Disc Jockey and Program Director Jim “Wyatt” Douglas, who moonlights as a Barber who runs his shop of out his house in Lena, Illinois https://web.archive.org/web/20001202055900/http://www.houseofwyatt.com/, a Barber who also runs a shop out of Salem, Indiana (located near the Indiana-Kentucky border) by the name of Kent Short, who; during the late 1990’s up until 2018, ran this website called Kent’s Shortcuts https://web.archive.org/web/20010410210033/http://www.geocities.com/barberkent/; the German Straight Razor manufacturer DOVO manufactured a Manual Razor intended for Head Shaving that is similar in design and concept to the original Head Blade:
It is not known if DOVO had the intention of copying Todd Greene and his company Head Blade, or if coincidentally; DOVO had concocted and developed a similar design for a Manual Razor specifically intended for Head Shaving at the same time Todd Greene developed the original Head Blade, founded his company, and put his Razor into mass production.
Unlike the Head Blade, DOVO’s Razor did not catch on with the Head Shaving public.
Todd Greene, up until his passing in 2020; would continue to improve, and redesign his Razor, long after DOVO had discontinued their Razor.
One can wonder if DOVO had continued to manufacture their Manual Razor intended for Head Shaving; if DOVO would improve, and/or redesign their Razor; and include Toy Car Wheels, or a Pivoting Ball on the design of their Razor.
