    Are not they made by Dovo? Entry level Dovo models are excellent beginner's choice, IMO.

    I have one, it was in the first set that I purchased. Before getting a proper hone on it, she cut real rough. I have since put a good edge on it, and it is in my rotation. I like mine, I only wish it was 6/8 or bigger.

    Yes they are made by Dovo. And that's good.

    I just got one last week and have shaved twice with it. It needed only a few laps on my swaty and it was ready to go. It is much smoother and more comfortable than my other razor which is a vintage HMC cutlery. The blade seems to be a little heavier with the Col Conk. I am glad you started this thread because I had the same questions. I also thought it was made by Dovo, thought I had read that somewhere.

    BTW, I got mine at a great price from an Ebay store in Solingen. It was unused. If anyone is interested I can pass it on.
