Thread: Purchasing a Dovo

I guess my second choice if i got a carbon steel blade would be to get the dovo bismarck with bone scales, but that also conflicts with what people have been telling me because it has bone scales

Every razor I have, 63 of them, have carbon steel blades and are stored in my bathroom. With some reasonable care, I have never even so much as has a tarnish spot on a razor. Also I have bone scales.

I understand that purchasing a razor is a very personal decision, but IMHO, I think you may be walking past really good, available and great shaving razors. I have a Dovo Bismark and it is one of my "go to" razors. I have the black scale version and it is sweeeeet!

Plus, here you can get it on sale.
