Don't know if anyone else has experienced this, but I recently purchased a Dovo stainless brush and razor stand that cost about $105. I have a Dovo 5/8" Desertwood razor that I wanted to put in it. However, as you can see from the picture it doesn't fit. It hangs about 3/4 of the way in. Anyone else experience this?

That stand is made for a DE razor, not a straight.
I lolled.
Unfortunate, time for a dremel perhaps to make pear shapes out of circles?
Actually, it's advertised as a straight razor stand. You can view the picture and information at Vintage Blades LLC::Brush & Razor Stands::Dovo Straight Razor and Brush Stand - 30mm

Seems like they made a better solution with this one:

Yes it does suck, but I'm not risking more money to test it! :)
As the stand doesn't even fit a fairly standard 5/8, I'd consider it defect IMO. Check with the vendor. That stand I showed is $30 less as well. :)Quote:

just asking, but the razor is a 5/8's right?
The opening post says 5/8... :)Quote:

I'd never keep a straight that close to a brush.
I tend to agree, by maybe someone will say it doesn't matter. Seems like it would though. Then again, mine is two inches away.....Quote:

Yours is a Dovo Desert Ironwood I presume?
Dimitry, they recently added that note, I presume because of my issue. It was not there originally.
Hmmm, then I assume they would have to give you your money back. Or at least get it to change it for something else.Quote:

dam that's shameful. they should have offered you a FULL refund and/or replacement for not disclosing all information about the stand. absolutely shocking.... i would def expect more from these people! especially with shaving products. im probably going to avoid this website too, cause i'm searching for a stand as well. it was actually in google that i came across your post. have you found a stand yet?Quote:

This happened a while back so I don't rember the exact quote, but it was something silly like, "Well that's odd." I didn't complain after that, but I haven't bought any other items from them either.Quote:

The purchaser will probably do what many of us would have done, make a slight adjustment with a file and re-polish.Quote:
