Thread: Looking for a Dovo

Hi guys,
I am looking for a Dovo straight razor(new or used) in good condition.l

Check the classifieds here.

Straight Razors - Straight Razor Place Classifieds

You may not find a DOVO but there are many other good makes of razor in good condition and for very reasonable prices.

What stubear just said - you might not find a shave ready dovo but there are a lot good vintage razors out there. Just make sure it is shave ready, ok?

BTW, How much you are willing spend on the razor in total? I assume that this is a price issue since you were linked places to buy good dovos...

I saw a 68 EUR Dovo in store yesterday, it looked damn fine as well. I can't imagine Dovo making bad razors, the price seems to go up as you get golden inlays & fancy scales, but the blade itself I think is a safe bet.

Good choice on the Dovo mate, I highly recommend them.

Dovos are good blades if kept sharp. I tried quite a few of their models and none disappointed me. I just wish they had some 7/8 and half or quarter hollow grinds out there. Hothotpot you can't go wrong buying at any of the links above.

Thank u all folks,
I am facing a problem, shops of UK and US do not ready to deliver razor to India, recently i mailed vintageblade. they will not send it to India.

Dovo is a very common brand it should be easy to find.
Use a search engine like Google or Bing with your local address to
see if you can find a retailer that is handy.

Shave ready can be important. There are only a handful of
quality professional honers out there. In my limited experience
Dovo ships a sharp quality razor from the factory. After six
months ship a factory blade out to one of the pros for a tuneup.

Since your are looking for new or used you should know that the blade quality of the inexpensive or the very expensive razors are much the same.

Polish, gilding, and scale material can add a lot to the cost but not improve the shave. Dovo has both stainless and carbon steel models today both are excellent. Forty plus years ago stainless was not an equal so if you find an OLDer blade go for carbon steel (short of specific knowledge to the contrary).
