Hi Guys,

I'm a proper newbie to straight razors. I decided that I would buy myself a couple of nice razors to get started with. One is the Dovo Bismarch and the other is the Dovo ‘Bergischer Löwe’, bought from a UK website specialising in Dovo razors.

When inspecting my Bergischer Löwe I've notice that the last cm of the blade when closing it just catches slightly on the scales unless you keep a little pressure on it to guide the blade inbetween the scales.

The Bimarch doesn't need this type of care and slides very nicely "home".

I was wondering if any of you had some advise on this. I've emailed the gent I purchased the razor off and am awaiting a reply...
