Thread: How old is this DOVO?

Ah, yeah, I didn't notice that. That would push it back some. I still think it is possible for it to be in the early 2000's as I have seen some vendors with old pictures showing shank stamps and the third pin. Given the condition, though, it probably is a little older. I don't think we'll be able to know this one's age without more info from the previous owner.

One more important thing is pins. The Leon's razor has the old DOVO pins. My razor(2006) has new pins.
