32t, You are spot on about the workforce. As far as Dovo is concerned, I hope they continue to make razors. Maybe I do not yet have an eye for it, but my Dovo is straight or my eyes are crooked
. They do give the opportunity for folks to get started in this craft at a reasonable price for the quality in my opinion. I hate to see any business fail, it is not good for anyone.

I would like to see an announcement from Dovo themselves rather than get too excited about what amounts to a rumor from my POV.
That said, read nothing about them ceasing production all together. They seem to be reducing the number of styles of razors and only doing less technically challenging razor grinds from what i have read.

An apprenticeship requires apprentices that are looking for a long term career not a short term something to do. Today's society doesn't encourage this mentality. Originally Posted by 32t

I have several Dovos and they shave well and hone well but they don't make larger razors and I have moved on to 7/8 or bigger. I do enjoy a 6/8 but less is not for me so I don't see a dovo in my future

If they don't think that the "Boss" doesn't care why should they? The employer has to lead by example. Originally Posted by edhewitt

The place where I worked used to have ticketed trades people and apprentices plus helpers on staff. Today and for some time they only hire fully qualified ticketed trades people. No more in house programs. The only time there are apprentices is when the Community College supplies them for work placement for their course. No employer wants to carry the extra staff as before.

Yeah, but he never got famous for his own woodworking, rather for being made part of somebody else's... Originally Posted by pixelfixed
