I actually had the choice of two razors. The other one was a much darker brown all over.

A fine example of one of the most interesting newly manufactured straights available from a non custom source. Dovo has done a fine job on the scales of these razors and the blades are no slouches. They are available in colours from near ivory white through to mineralized dark coffee like browns. Seems to be love them or hate them on the forums. The detail work on the recent Mammuts is very impressive and shows extreme effort on the part of Dovo to do everything right. One needs to handle one of these beauties in the flesh to comprehend how good they are. Beautiful set when combined with your knife. Thank you for sharing Rod.

Used to deliver cleaning products out that way, I always used to like the Forrest of dean runs, though the lanes did cost my company more than one or two wing mirrors.
