    Default Dovo 25 Fritz Bracht.

    Dovo 25 Fritz Bracht razor with original box. The seller assured me that there's absolutely no rust or pitting on that razor. Well, guess what, i had to polish out almost intact goldwash from the shank because there was a lot rust and pitting at the pivot point. Anyway, original, celluloid scales with beautiful bolsters. Nickel- silver pins and stainless steel washers.

    Looks way better w/o gold wash. Just a beautiful razor. Your photographs and composition are equally as good.

    Losing the gold wash didn't hurt the razors looks any, still a very fine looking razor.

    Yeah, the gold wash on these doesn't last much. I've had a bunch with goldwashed shanks and pretty much all had to be stripped of it. I'm not much into gaudy stuff though so I like them better without the gold wash anyways.
    You should've seen the issues in the photographs before you bought the razor, though.

    Yep, the rust is clear on the photos, but I guess you do have to have a little experience.
