Thread: DOVO Questions

From a honing and "keeping sharp" perspective, I can recommend Dovo razors. The new ones that have come my way have been straight, well fitted, and take an edge easily.

All the new Dovos are decent straight razors. The different features are personal preferences and it takes experience with different straights before you will figure this out.

Just starting out and becoming fluent in getting a bbs shave or one that satisfies you and caring for the straight razor properly is the learning curve that will concern you the most.

The fairly new Dovo's I have are all good performers. I just rotate them around based upon my personal preferences. Some are nicer to look at than others, some are easier to care for than others, and some hold an edge longer than others. Some need a lighter touch to avoid weepers, and others can take a heavier touch without giving weepers. The shave performance ranges from very well to excellent.

Staight Shaving - in for a penny, in for a pound!

Good Luck!

I bought from SRP the DOVO 5/8 inch straight blade with a red 2" strap. i also bought a silver tip brush, and a 10000 grit sand stone.
