Thread: Dovo 6/8 Best Quality

My SRD Christmas gift arrived today.
Dovo 6/8 Best Quality with Black Scales.

This razor has completely spoiled me!!

I was in such a rush, and excited, that even with minimal prep, the shave was amazing.

Just proves that good equipment, honed by The Great One goes a long way in making the task easier and more rewarding.

I can't wait for my stubble to return and attack it again!

Great to hear!

My Dovos are my best shavers. I have yet to find a bad Dovo.

Pictures! Pictures! Make us drool!

Ok, but I'm never going to be confused with a photographer.

Congratulations!! This was also one of my first straight razors when I started. And to this day, I love this razor. I've never had a bad shave with it. Re-freshed it a couple times on diamond treated felt, and on my 12,000 Naniwa, and it keeps an awesome edge. You'll enjoy it!

Thanks, Nick!
It shaves beautifully. Can't wait to add another to the stables.

I concur that these are excellent blades. I like them so much that I bought 3 of them new. Once touched up to get the factory roughness off, they are a smooth shave. I also like the bigger size because they are easier to control on the skin and on the strop. You will grow to love that razor. Have fun!

That's a great SR. I have the same one at 1/2 hollow. It was my first new razor and it's the one that I use most often. Enjoy!

I would chime in w/ JBT. On most levels they're excellent. When you factor in cost - they're really impressive. Of the 7 I've honed, 3 has some minor warp or wave, but none so bad they won't take a fine edge. I have a couple of $290 blades that have worse warp & wave than any dovo I've handled. That 6/8 just feels good in my size XL hands.

If you're already shaving w/ it - you know. As you can hear from others, even after you have other blades, you'll keep liking the reliability of that DBQ. Enjoy.
