Thread: Dropped my new Dovo All Stainless

I have had my new Dovo All Steel fully stainless razor for about 3 weeks now after Scipio honed it for me and am now getting to the point where I am getting a good shave out of it without taking so long as to make me late for work in the morning. I recently bought a good Latigo leather strop for it and have been having good results and no cuts.

After shaving I normally dry my razor with a cloth and give it a strop, but this morning I put the closed razor down on top of my shirt on a chair and then picked up the shirt knocking the razor onto the wood floor closed.

Anyway when I opened it there were a couple of dinks in the edge of the blade Anyway I needed to get out the door for work so I had to pull myself away from trying to fix the razor by stropping it on my cheapo ebay strop so no to ruin the good one and left for work worrying whether my new expensive razor is fubar.

Scipio live quite close to me and says he will have a look at my razor next week and hopefully fix it with his many hones but. Here are the photos of the damage. Now I have had a good look at them under the magnifying glass they don't look as bad as I remembered them from my hazy memory of the morning while at work today.

Makes me wish I had a hone now although I wouldn't want to make matters worse as I have never used one.

Unless there are cracks in the blade the photos doesn't show, Scipio will fix that pretty easy. Not to worry, I would say!
Good luck with it!

Sorry this post has gone all wide is it possible to make the images go one on top of the other instead of side by side?

?
I see the pictures one on top of the other.
Just as it should be.

Thanks I can't see any cracks in the dinks I read on here today that cracks can't be fixed so am pretty glad that there arn't any. I guess I will have to be even more careful in future!

Ahhh sorry you are correct, it looks all wide in Opera but it looks fine in Internet Explorer, must be a web browser thing.

Nothing my 800 King won't sort out Gives me a nice opportunity to use the stone! PM sent

what a bummer, but fortunately with no cracks.
It is easy to repair. And the next time better store , that beautiful razor.

That is an extensive amount of work. I suggest you take a small gift. And don't drop your razors in the future.
