Was it stained out of the box? I would be calling the vendor up if so.

Water staining seems to be a recurring theme with new Dovo razors.

Some say use an eraser, try it but I never had any success. A rolled up ball of aluminium foil has worked wonders for me (thanks Olivia), or metal polish (Maas, Sidol).

Just make sure to keep clear of the edge. Anything abrasive enough to remove tarnish will dull the edge if applied carelessly.

If you have any honing paste left try some 0.5 diamond paste on a q-tip or a rag, very small amount. It worked wonders for my very shiny razor and did not leave scratches.

Thanked: 132 Dovo staining
Hey...ive been using a dovo, consistently for the last four months and it still looks like it came out of the box.
I read on this site, that wiping the blade with alcohol, works well...ive been doing that, waving it dry and putting it away. Its been pretty sucessful.
Hope that helps ya.
