Talking about cruddy stainless and going off-topic to Dovo, a question comes to mind.
Known fact that Dovo made razors for Hess Hair Milk.
Why is it that a Hess 44 is widely regarded as one of the first and best of Inox razors.
Dovo made some almost identical ones. Hard to see. I guess back in the day, deals were deals. Seems Hess specified and knew their stuff. Lots of razors come to mind
All Hess razors made in Germany by Dovo seem to be great.
44's are the longest lasting edges, IMO."Don't be stubborn. You are missing out."
I rest my case.

If u seen how they produce a factory edge at Dovo, you'd understand why they come with frowns most of the time.

I'm not really sure how old that Col. Conk of mine is. It was brand new (NOS really i guess) when I got it as a gift from my family doctor. He bought it while on vacation in Germany and never used it. It had been years and years, I just don't know how many. My guess is at least 10 and maybe 20.

Thanked: 2209If that razor has an HRC of approx 70 ( which is highly doubtful) then it will most certainly be brittle and very prone to microchips.
There is a reason that most razors are in the HRC range of 58-60. That range produces stable edges on the steel.
