Dovo 55 from Vintageblades

I received a Dovo 55 from vintageblades yesterday. It has the ox-horn scales. At first look, I was very surprised by this razor. This is a nice 7/8 with what looks like an extra hollow grind. When I compare it visually with my prima, they look very similar in profile.

After a few strops on linen and leather, I got a silent HHT on the blade. I put it aside for a shave today. The shave was outstanding. Smooth and very close. I almost got a 1-pass BBS which is a first for me. Overall, I am very happy with the razor.

Yeah, Lynn can still hone a great edge.

I didn't realize he honed for vintage. He did a great job.

Lynn did hone for Vintage in the past and probably still does ? I was nosing around the website after reading your post and I see that Maximilian re-scaled and honed those Dovo 55s. So giving credit where credit is due, it was Max, not Lynn who honed your razor.

Okay, well Max does a great job as well!

Regardless of the honing, those Dovo 55's are exquisite razors. You've got yourself a very fine specimen. Congrats on owning such a wonderful shaver.
