Thread: It Broke :(

So I opened my razor to strop it and as was opening it up it just pulled apart, I didnt use excessive force or anything, it didnt even make a snapping sound anyway Im pretty bummed out! I havent even done my third shave yet!

Has anyone else had this problem with the dovo 6/8 half hollow best quality? It almost looks like the pin was put in to tightly or something along those lines.

So this was brand new? Sounds like you need to check your warranty with whoever you bought it from. This shouldn't happen with normal use.

I know it is a bummer. All you can do is email the vendor. I think they will replace it for you.

Not to mine, and it's three years old. The scales are downright beefy so I'm actually surprised to see that.

The scales were either deficient somehow, the pin was too tight or both. Unfortunately if the razor came honed by the vendor the mfg's warranty is void. Your best bet, as has been mentioned, would be to contact the vendor and try to work something out. Sorry man, that sucks.

Yep bran new, opened it out of the package on tuesday afternoon. The seal was broke, since it was honed by lynn but it was still nicely wrapped in the paper and coated in oil.

Ya I emailed straight razor designs and sent them the pictures. Im sure they will have a solution.

My scales look pretty beefy as well, it was very surprizing to me when they just pulled apart.

sorry to hear that friend. I own 2 of these razors scales are solid. I would contact the vendor and see if they can do something for you. or else you might want to put new scales on them.

I have no doubt SRD will take care of you. The price of repairing your razor is nothing compared to the cost of bad PR. Word of mouth, especially on this site would be far more costly to them than doing right by you. Be patient but be persistant and I would bet that you will be satisfied in the end.
BTW, I own the exact same razor and have not any issues with it whatsoever. Sorry to see your had to be that one in a thousand SNAFUs.

Am certain SRD will take care of the issue,no worrys,But was there not a similar issue with that same razor about a month ago on this site??????????

I seem to recall that we did have a thread about a Dovo BQ with breaking scales, and it may have been more than one....
And I also have an SRD Dovo BQ.....
