Hello everybody!
My newest razor (no. 6 in the collection) is a Dovo, that much I know. Can anyone help me to narrow down the age? Dovo used the embossing until 1991, but as far as the years before that, I am stumped.
Thanks for any help in advance,
Greetings
Sven
Welcome!
That model is still being sold by more than a few vendors https://thesuperiorshave.com/product...traight-razor/ so might not be too old just not looked after.
Looks like the modern version is laser etched, vice stamped, which should help the dating.Quote:

This site has some info on Dovo STRAZORS.com - all about classic razors - DOVO, Fritz Bracht, Solingen, Germany. .
Check the Dovo trade mark stamp on the tang as it may give a clue as to when it was made.

Good eye Bob. I was wondering if it has been rescaled. Just looked at the link. Guess not.
