Please Note:
"Change of Mind" returns are only available if the factory seal of the Dovo Product Packaging is not broken (unfortunately you can't open & inspect the razor and then return it). That's for hygienic reasons and we won't be able to sell returned razors "As New" with a broken seal.
All Dovo straight razors come with a factory edge. While Dovo certifies each razor has passed several quality control checks and is ready to shave, after being stropped, it will not be the most efficient or comfortable shave. We highly recommend having your new razor professionally honed to your personal preference to achieve the best shave performance.
Maintenance:
Maintaining straight razors requires stropping usually before and after every use. Proper stropping with the occasional use of a linen strop with an abrasive compound can maintain the blade edge for a long time, but at some point, resharpening (honing) is required.
Most straight razors are made of carbon steel. To avoid stains, rinse your blade with warm water after shaving (don't use any cleaners or alcohol on the scales). Next, dab it dry with a cloth without touching the cutting edge and stow it open to dry completely. Between two applications there should be at least 48 hours so that the burr can realign itself. If you are not going to use your razor for a longer period of time, apply a bit of acid-free oil to it.
MATERIAL
This straight razor is made of carbon steel with the material number 1.2210, better known as silver steel. In order to achieve a hardness of approximately 61 HRC, the material is heated to over 1000 degrees celsius and then immediately quenched with a special oil. The subsequent tempering at about 200 degrees celsius gives the blade elasticity and toughness. The ornaments are beautifully gold-plated with 24 karat gold.
HANDLE MATERIAL
Ebony is one of the most valuable woods on earth. It is extremely hard and heavy. Therefore, it is perfect for the production of a high-quality handle. Its structure allows the wood to retain its shape even in humid environments and prevents swelling of the material. Several grind cycles are necessary to create the silky smooth surface.
GRIND
During hollow grinding, the straight razor is ground concavely from the back to the cutting edge. This design combines great flexibility with high torsional rigidity in longitudinal form. Enjoy the satisfying sound and feel of a gentle shave from the vibration of the razor blade trimming your facial hair.
PRODUCT DETAILS
The round point is the classic shape for a razor and is suitable in most shaving situations. This type of point has been very popular for centuries, as the curved shape can be used very safely in the areas of the ears, nose, and dimples. Even in the event of a fall, the rounded head protects you from injuries.
BLADE WIDTH
A wide blade is particularly suitable for men with strong beard growth or thicker hair. A 6/8 inch straight razor glides undeterred through even the thickest facial hair. The experienced barber appreciates the high weight of the blade and the resulting smooth operating performance. Especially on straight facial areas, you will achieve an unrivalled thorough and comfortable shave.
