  • The Dovo is alot heavier.
  • The Dovo is a shorter blade.
  • The Dovo is wider.
  • The Dovo is SHARPER!!


All of this led to a very different shaving experience! In fact, I would almost say I've taken a step back in shaving quality as I need to re-figure this one out. My question is for those who have a rotation of blades. Do they all shave differently? I mean do you intentionally tweak your style based on each razor?
This how you feel about the DOVO Bismarck, I can guarantee you that there are a variety of Dovos that will feel different.
Different sizes and grind will feel differently, the trick is to figure out what you like best and focus on that group of blades if you are building a collection.
