Thread: Dovo Digs

So far the only straight I have is a Dovo and I love it. I have nothing to compare it too so my opinion may not be worth anything but it gives a nice clean shave, I shave with it daily. Now if I can only figure out how to get the lather to whip up creamy like others say it should be.

My first straight was a Dovo Inox #41 in stainless scales. What great blade steel & what terrible balance!

I have a Bergischer Löwe that is one of my top shavers. That's quite an achievement as I generally favour blades not much smaller than 7/8 & inox if possible. It's a really fantastic razor & I absolutely love it.

I love my Dovo. Haven;t tried their inox, but I have heard great things. While some may not like them, I think there is a pretty good reason why the company is still around. They make great stuff!

Here's a beautiful Dovo that belongs to Nolig23

And it's sister, the 24

My first straight razor was a Bergischer loewe.
IMO it delivers on par with a lot of my more expensive ones.
I generally prefer much wider blades, but there is nothing wrong with my Dovo. It is still in my rotation, and it will remain there

I have 2 DOVO Bismarks that shave just fine. They are in my rotation.

Now see, I have a Dovo (but it is the "best Qual")...So it is okay to me...What I want, and just heaven't gotten yet is the cracked ices older Dovo that struts its stuff.....But saying all that, yes I do like Dovo, I just am like most people (i think and enjoy the more unusual blades for collectables....Most Dovos are new and will be around for quite awhile...If they stopped making them they would go fo a grand a piece. Oh yea, I forgot my fav duuh! I have a Bismark...That is my Sunday shave..That's my classy one..

My first razor was a Dovo 5/8 Black Star w/ Brown Wood scales. I have 7 Dovo's in my collection.

Black Star Brown Wood Scales
Bismark # 25 Square Point Bone Scales
Bergischer Lowe
Bismark Red Scales
5/8 Best Quality Black Scales
5/8 #38 Black Scales with Burg Graf on the Scales
6/8 Best Quality White Scales

They all are great shavers but I use the 6/8 Best Quality the most. The ones with Gold wash I shave with but I don't want to mess them up.

Here are my two, both Fritz Bracht era and both 13/16ths.
