In Praise of the Dovo Special
Gentlemen,
After yet another stellar shave today with my Dovo 6/8 Special, which was the first straight I owned and what I learned on, I got to thinking that I should write something in praise of it - but not a product review.
I kind of cringe when I hear people talking about it as a "beginner's razor". If it is that at all, it is because of its price. The razor is very aesthetically pleasing, with its gold wash emblem and classy tortoise scales. And this razor has always honed easily for me, delivered a close and comfortable shave, and in spite of being full hollow ground, it is not as tricky to shave with as some of my fully hollows that are almost paper thin. The balance of the Special is quite nice as well.
I would put forth that if all I had was one pair of these, I would be quite happy.
So here is my salute to what I believe is an unsung hero in the vast pool of straights. :beer1:
