Product Description

Bearing the German manufacturer’s emblem inlaid into its blade using 24K gold, the DOVO Straight Razor, Faux Mother of Pearl Scales, 5/8" is a beautiful instrument manufactured to fit into the hands of gentlemen in search of something both ornamental and practical. Gold has been used to plate each straight razor from tang to spine, though this does more to accentuate rather than detract from the mirror finish of the cutting blade. Made of Swedish steel, it is not only strong and flexible, but also ground concave on both sides for increased sharpness. To complete its image, the scales on this straight razor are made using imitation nacre, meant to reproduce the beautiful rainbow shine particular to mother of pearl.

DOVO is a German manufacturer based in Solingen. Similar to some of the other cities that host razor blade manufacturers, Solingen was once home to swordsmiths famed across Europe for their skill and craftsmanship. Today, DOVO is more than eager to put that inherited expertise to use manufacturing some of the best razor blades available on the market.

5/8" round-point.
Hollow ground blade.
Made in Solingen, Germany.

Note:
* This razor is not pre-honed. Even though Dovo Solingen do sharpen their razors before packaging, the razors might require some honing before first usage.

This is a beautiful razor, except the sharpening process could have been better. It's been honed twice now and I still prefer shaving with my other 2 less expensive razors. It also has some staining on the blade that won't go away. Nice looking, lightweight razor, just could be sharper.

I bought this as a second razor for myself a few months ago. It shaves pretty well once I honed and stropped it and seems to hold an edge decently. Sadly, this razor came with a pit in the blade right near the shank between the steel and the gold. Also, the final sharpening grind on the blade was not even and looked a little amateurish. Decent razor over all, I just prefer perfection when I'm spending this much.
