On another note, I would like to say that the razor in question is, by my standards, a very nice razor. I have one - my first razor - and I absolutely adore it. It is, when in doubt or in a rush, the razor I go to to get a nice, clean and irritation free shave.

+1 on this statement. this is a great opportunity for someone and great of Dave to do it. good job!

Way to go Dave, that is an awesome gesture indeed.

It's my pleasure to do this. I'm going to allow people to enter until Friday, so anything until then I will consider. I have 3 entries so far, and I thank you 3 for writing something meaningful. If there are no additional entries I would still be quite pleased giving the razor away to any of the 3. But anyone still wishing to win a free razor please feel free to explain why you'd like to win it!

I will be able to post pictures of the razor tonight. It's nothing fancy and has black plastic scales. But there is no tarnish or rust and the blade is in good condition. Hopefully the pictures will be able to speak for themself.

I was skeptical of the idea of giving away a razor at first, but I'm really looking forward to giving it to someone now!

I'd love to win this straight razor. I've been interested in using a straight razor for some time now and my ladyfriend suggested it as a method for me to actually be happy with my shaves.

After some research I became really excited as I've virtually never had a shave where I was happy with the results. The first shave with a new disposable tears up my face and after about the 4th or 5th use my facial hair has obliterated the blade to unusable standards. Electrical shavers are a joke by all means and turn my face into ground beef.

I am a college student so working into my budget for the initial investment has been a tad difficult for me. I'm fascinated by the prospect of having a piece of shaving equipment that not only WORKS but is a beautiful blade.

Thank you for giving this opportunity to us novices

Hey guys,

As promised here are the pictures of the razor. I'm not the best photographer, but I think these show that the razor is in good condition. The bevel isn't perfectly even as can be seen, but that does affect shave-ability as it does shave quite well. I keep mineral oil on it, so there's no rusting, tarnishning, pitting, or anything like that!

I would also like to thank you. What you are doing is helping to let everyone know st8 shavers help each other no matter the experence level. Keep up the good work hopefully I can follow in your path and help someone out the same way.

Please count me in. Winning this razor would be awesome. I became interested in straight shaving when I was passed down some prime shaving stuff from my father. (Badger brush, great soap & aftershave)
But trying to achieve the perfect shave with those things coupled with a disposable Gilette is like trying to paint a Monet with your feet--it can't be done.
So off I went on a hunt for the way to the perfect shave--and stumbled upon SRP, where I have been lurking for a couple months now. I have been hesitant to jump in because of the price to get started--I'm a broke college student who owes his firstborn to the loan companies.
I would love to win this razor--it would give me the push I need into the metaphorical deep end of the straight razor pool.

Win or not, I want to thank you for offering this to all us broke newbies out there.

I would love to win this razor as I am definitely in need of this razor. You see, I have a measely 70+ razors and not a one of them are Dovo.


Alms for the poor. Alms for the poor.

I would actually like to enter for my wife. She has been eying up my razor for a while now and finally took the plunge a couple days ago and successfully shaved her legs with my straight. Since then she has done it another time but I have noticed that it will eventually get dangerous to my face to put it through that much use. I would like to get her set up but I have promised my girls that we would take them to Disney this summer and as such my disposable income has been claimed for the next couple months.

My wife HATED shaving before this. Like seriously she was almost an honorary hippie . Now she is smoother than I have ever seen her . I definitely would like to keep it that way. She said she enjoyed shaving for the first time ever when she got that blade in her hand.

So for her a modern, well balanced razor would be something she could really use and actually enjoy.
