I bought this razor from Razor Designs. I love it. It is a sharp looking razor.
Yes, the handles are plastic. Dovo used to make a real pearl ones to put on the no.41 stainless blade (the one in your post is carbon steel), but I haven't seen those available for a while. The last time they were also made from several pearl segments on a liner instead of single slab.Quote:

I knew they werent real pearl, I should have rephrased my question better, are they firm or soft plastic? How does it shave?Quote:

I have a similar razor that is set(?) in the same scales. Of the three Dovo's I own, it's my favorite in terms of aesthetics.
I have the same razor scaled in Honey Horn.As a shaver, it is a nice enough razor, but not one of my favorites. However, it is probably one of the prettiest I own.
I got it the other day it came honed by lynn. When I shaved with it, it was alright but not up to my TI. I later stropped it 50 times on linen and 100 full passes on leather and it helped it a lot. It will pass a hht on some parts of the blad but not the other. I have shaved twice with it now, and it just doesnt seem to be as good as my TI. Maybe after some more stropping and use it will get better.
wow that is one good looking razor!
