Dovo straight razor 6/8" Carbon | Bismarck | Acrylic pearl look white

The 6/8 inch DOVO straight razor No. 2 has earned the name BISMARCK®. The name stands for the highest quality straight razor design from Solingen in the 20th century. This tradition for excellence still holds true today. The special features of this model are its characteristic elegant appearance, heavy weight, and incomparable handling. Only our most experienced specialists produce this unique piece by hand.

MATERIAL

This straight razor is made of carbon steel with the material number 1.2210, better known as silver steel. In order to achieve a hardness of approximately 61 HRC, the material is heated to over 1000 degrees celsius and then immediately quenched with a special oil. The subsequent tempering at about 200 degrees celsius gives the blade elasticity and toughness. The ornaments are beautifully gold-plated with 24 karat gold.

HANDLE MATERIAL

Natural pearls have been traded as precious gems for over 7000 years. The silky sheen, combined with a unique play of colour, make them a sought-after raw material in jewellery production to this day. For ethical reasons, we work exclusively with imitation pearls made of acrylic glass. Selected manufacturing processes make it possible to perfectly replicate the familiar colouring.

Grind

During hollow grinding, the straight razor is ground concavely from the back to the cutting edge. This design combines great flexibility with high torsional rigidity in longitudinal form. Enjoy the satisfying sound and feel of a gentle shave from the vibration of the razor blade trimming your facial hair.

BLADE DESCRIPTION

The round point is the classic shape for a razor and is suitable in most shaving situations. This type of point has been very popular for centuries, as the curved shape can be used very safely in the areas of the ears, nose, and dimples. Even in the event of a fall, the rounded head protects you from injuries.

BLADE WIDTH

A wide blade is particularly suitable for men with strong beard growth or thicker hair. A 6/8 inch straight razor glides undeterred through even the thickest facial hair. The experienced barber appreciates the high weight of the blade and the resulting smooth operating performance. Especially on straight facial areas, you will achieve an unrivalled thorough and comfortable shave.
