    Default Dovo NOS Fritz Bracht

    Today I received this gem in the mail courtesy of one of our members. It's a beauty, a NOS Fritz Bracht era Dovo:







    The middle pin on one side is missing the... I don't know what you call it. Not that I mind at all... I was just wondering... is this a normal thing?

    Thanks!

    the fritz bracht Dovos i have are the same way... missing the back washer on the spacer pin... never noticed it before... i have a robeson and a t.heessn-bruch that do not have any washer on any of the pins... i thought they were pressed hot intothe scales...

    any other ideas?

    forthe dovo no big issue and the middle pin really does not do much.

    Thats how those razors were made I have one. Any of you that can acquire one do so. Those are absolutely fantastic shavers. I can think of no razor out there that will outshave it including all the custom razors out there. Amazing how far downhill Dovo has gone over the years by comparison.

    Bought a vintage Fritz Bracht era Dovo Super Bismark from Vintage Blades a while back; also missing the third pin washer. Still a fantastic shaver...
