Thread: Dovo strop and norton 4k/8k waterstone

*I posted the same text and photos in the razors/blades subforum because I wasn't really sure how else to do it. Hopefully no feathers are rufftled.

This is actually a set but I'll piece it out if necessary. Sorry if sets are supposed to go somewhere else but it's been a long time since I've been on this site.

The razor and strop are Dovo, and the stone is a Norton 4000/8000, purchased new in 2007 and stored carefully the last 9 years since I switched over to a safety razor. I've held on to them for ages but I'm restoring a sailboat to move onto, so anything that's not absolutely necessary really needs to go, and I could use the extra cash.

The razor is a basic 5/8 half-hollow ground with plastic scales. It could probably stand to be honed. The stone could probably use a little bit of conditioning, but it's not necessary. Strop is in good shape as well. All three are in very good condition, functional, and well-kept, and will last a lifetime if you take care of them. Additionally, if you purchase this as a set it's everything you need to shave, with the exception of soap and a brush.

The pictures are quick snaps I took with my phone so if you would like a particular angle let me know and I'll get those for you.

I'll ship them however you like since you're paying, and I promise to have them in the mail within 24 hours. These prices seem reasonable to me and they're based on a quick search to see how much it would cost to get these items elsewhere, but if I'm way off feel free to educate me.

Razor: $40 plus shipping
Strop: $40 plus shipping
Stone: $50 plus shipping

If you buy the set the price for all three is $110 plus shipping.

very good opportunity for a beginner! only good stuff here at good prices!

Great deal!! It would be impossible to beat it!
Lap that hone, willya ?

I bought nearly that exact same kit (different strop) when I started, great deal for a beginner!!!

Gabe inquired about my razor and was kind enough to give me a day or so to wait for an offer on the set itself. So I'm still waiting on an offer for the set, but if I don't get one pretty soon then the razor will go to Gabe and the strap and home will be up for grabs.

well, the razor is sold pending payment. The stone and strop are still up for grabs at the prices listed above. Happy to entertain offers obviously, since I would like to get rid of all three eventually.

Is the strop Shell Horsehide?

Slawman

Not sure which part is the shell but one side is leather (not sure which kind) and the other is linen. I can send photos if that will help. I would like to stress that at this point I'm willing to consider all offers.

Restoring a sailboat to move on to. Im jelouse! I need the stone and would love to help you on your endevor if i can as my sailboat is still on the horizon, it doesnt stop me from looking and dreaming though.

Best advice I can give is go small and go now.
And me a pm with an offer and we'll get you the stone.
