Thread: Dovo’s honing method

I think we can easily find common ground in the fact we all enjoy a well produced quality razor. As I see it, a razor provided with a straight edge or a slight smile; certainly not with a frown.
And one that is truly shave ready without functional or practical hindrances created by the manufacturer.

Aside from a well produced razor that is perfectly functional, straight razor shaving is highly subjective. Even the finisher preference varies A LOT between folks and that's something that can easily be worked out by folks themselves. Fundamental problems with the razor can't.

The fact there has been many reports on fundamental issues with modernly produced razors in Solingen is what bothers people, and rightfully so, folks expect better from a town called Solingen and also from a name like Dovo.
As a while ago when I started shaving everybody was recommending entry level Dovo razors.

It sounds idealistic, but often times fundamental perfection gets lost in modern day times due to a variety of reasons; which is eventually a sad thing.
We are no doubt a nostalgic bunch that admire the art of straight razors, etc. And since we're all on a forum, we're a bit of perfectionists as well, maybe.
