Correct and if I'm not mistaken Dovo produces/produced a straight that was extra hollow ground and inscribed with 'Prima Klang', or 'excellent sound' (=the sound of the whiskers popping under the blade). Anyway, if someone ever needs a (razor-related!!) translation, from German, just let me know, happy to help.
