Thread: Dovo’s honing method

I got out my modern Dovo Bismark, one of two plain blade razors that were sold by yes, Jarrod as the Dovo Pallisander for the pallisander wood scales. It was a fantastic idea, if you got a good one. One of mine is good and one has the hollow overground (frownie) but only on one side. The good one I re-scaled in donor scales from a trashed Wostenholm razor, thin, probably ivory celluloid scales. The razor only weighs 49g and handles like a MK 32, and shaves almost as well. Replacing the surfboard scales on any modern German razor with proper ones is a huge improvement. So let’s not forget that Dovo can make a great razor, if they want to. If only they made them all like this they wouldn’t be in trouble. I wish them the best.
