Thread: Great Starter Dovo

Hi Guys,

I have been honing up dozens of these lately and I have to tell you; For an entry level razor, you can't go wrong here. This 6/8 Dovo hones up nicely and is also a very nice shaver. Takes a great edge. Not a bad price either. Contrary to recent threads about Dovo's bevels by self proclaimed honing guru's, these simply hone up very well and are very classic looking.

Enjoy.

Lynn

Good evening Lynn,

What model Dovo is that exactly?

The cheaper "best quality" one I'd imagine?

At least that's what it says on the blade.

That would be the one.

For a simple razor it has always been a favorite. I use this one with white or black scales in my sets as well as it's near twin brother with slightly different etching.

Not as pretty as the Tortoise model but the blade looks very similar to me.

Well... Something more to put on my wish list I guess.

I have a couple Wapi's coming so I best take it easy for a little bit. I never thought this would become such an obsession! LOL

Well sure, it's a "best quality". Whaddaya expect? Don't stand still honemeisters, I'm nearly on your heels; I think I may have achieved a bevel. There's no telling how far this run will take me.

currently working on more stones than razors, Bruce

My first straight was a Dovo Bismarck and I have to say it is the easiest to hone in my rotation and keeps the edge second only to the TI I have.

Dovos are great!

That Dovo Classic Special 6/8 was exactly what I started with at the beginning of the year, honed by Lynn. It still shaves great, and is still in my rotation to this day.

I have the 5/8 that Tony sells Very good Razor this was my first lol
