    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.

    What's your problem Robin? What harm could it do to just enquire whether they thought it was a legit razor or not...?

    I do not have a problem. I would, however, like to know why you would contact a manufacturer based on completely insufficient data.

    What tells you it even is a Dovo, Neil?

    That's what I'm trying to get at - surely they would know? They might even be interested in how it came to look like that if it was a legit Dovo. Everyone enjoys a bit of mystery and trying to work it out, after all.

    Alright everyone, calm down. Based on what is posted here there may not be enough info to contact Dovo bit that doesn't mean the info doesn't exist. I just hasn't been presented in this thread. I'm going to lock this thread for a few days for everyone to calm down and collect the facts if they wish. I find this thread interesting but also lacking in enough details for anyone other than John or the owner to contact Dovo with what has been presented in this thread to date.
