    OK, you got me! How about this; I don't NORMALLY sell Dovos. I forgot about those.

    If you don't need them, I'll take them. The scales might look too colourful outside the Village, but gift horses and all that...

    As an aside, I wonder why you did not tell the customer to raise the issue with the vendor, and - if required - report the results. Especially since this is apparently a super rare razor. At least I have never seen a Dovo special with plating (I presume you meant 'gold plating'?) and white scales.

    Default Contact Dovo???

    Your would think one of "Us" Wunderkind would think to just give Dovo a call, or shoot them an E-mail about this unique Str8?? Just a thought from one of the lesser.

    Your friend, tinkersd

    What a wonderful idea. So, next time I see an American car with QA issues, I call the manufacturer in the US, claiming I've been using cars for some time and therefore know what a car should be like. I'm sure the results of this conversation will be extremely useful.

    No need to be sarcastic. It actually might provide some useful information. I regularly call manufacturing companies and get quite an education.

    I can easily imagine that. So you suggest to contact Dovo because:

    1. You are not a legal entity involved in the transaction between the seller (ie retailer) and the buyer?
    2. You believe that the razor in the image is in fact a Dovo razor, despite the fact that no-one has seen a Special in white scales with whatever plating before?
    3. You have seen the video of Dovo's production line and believe you can contribute some useful insight into how to streamline production processes based on your massive personal experience which will dwarf their 104 years of experience and probably millions of razors made?
    4. All of the above?

    As I said, a truly wonderful idea.

    Regards,
    Robin

    Quite right - what harm can it do? I'd ignore all the negative tosh if it mattered enough to me to call them.

    Maybe my perception of this issue is warped because I have no commercial interest in razors. But what exactly are we talking about here? All we have is some pictures of a razor of unknown make and model, which someone we don't know has taken a Dremel to. So much for facts. The rest is fiction. Either way, if that razor is in fact a Dovo, it will have come with a product warranty, and any reputable vendor will replace a faulty product anyhow. So what would you want to learn from Dovo? "Wassup, Dovo dudes, my name is X, and I'm totally into str8s!!!! I have seen a razor that may or may not be a Dovo on the internet. Someone I don't know has worked on it with a Dremel, and now claims it has a funky defect. So whatcha gonna do about this outrageous error on your behalf?" Sounds like a perfect plan.
