    Default What do you guys think of this Dovo?

    She's a bit pricey but she's gorgeous!

    Is the stainless steel harder to strop?

    But but but the scales aren't ivory. All kidding aside, my stainless steel razors strop just like my other non stainless steel razors. As a bonus it should have a good edge coming from SRD.

    I know, I know, but my plan to skydive a team down and "rescue" an ivory pile before it was burned fell through last week when the aircraft rental company got a bit suspicious. All that planning for nothing!

    So your stainless steel razors strop just fine? That's good news.

    I bought those scales to replace some celluloids that started going. They are very pretty.

    Dovo makes a nice razor. It should shave very well as long as it's honed before delivery.

    Terrible razor. Send it to me and I will suffer through.

    I had one of those a long time ago, and I remember it feeling scale-heavy. Or maybe the scales were thick... Something about too much scale.

    Some stainless can be different that carbon when honing, but for stropping and shaving, I have never felt much of a difference.
