It'll be my first dovo so I'm looking forward to honing it up and giving it a try. Not bad for $60 huh?

It's a great razor by my standards. It's exactly like my first staight. Holds a great edge, is very forgiving and is just a pleasure for me to hold it. It's also a razor that you won't really regret to take as a travel razor... I shaved with mine this morning! :D But I know nothing about honing it... the only thing I know is that Joke1176 - the guy who honed it for me a little while ago - had a bit of trouble getting it to his own standards of sharpness... maybe it was my newbie abuse? :hmmm: Good razor! I'm sure you'll like it!
I'm not really all that up on Dovo's, but is that the same as this one (scale color aside) VintageBladesLLC::Dovo... ?
I got one that looks just like that from the knife center on the net. It honed up well for me. I will say that it needs a little oil every once and a while at the pivot pin to keep it from rusting.
Yup. I think that's pretty much the same razor, although the one in the auction was a 5/8 as opposed to a 6/8. It's nothing fancy, but if I like it I'll probably end up putting some half decent scales on it.Quote:
