A Newby here. In my search to find a locally available straight razor in Winnipeg, MB, Canada I wound up with a local barber supply house that was able to sell me a new 44/20 (made in Germany) in a black plastic box with the generic Solingen sticker. I found the same razor online here - 4420 Products ( but for more than I paid for it). True to what I have been reading here, it required significant honing before it was "shave ready" and I have learned a lot with it in a few short weeks (and its a little smaller now!). Anyway, what I am wondering, is since it is an available "new" product being made in Germany (although marketed in North America under Economy Supply Co's 44/20 brand) is it in reality a Dovo?
Also kind of ironic, while googling the term 44/20 I found that it is a chapter and verse of the bible forbidding you to shave!!! Hmmm go figger.
