Expensive but best shave out there

Reviewed in the United States on January 6, 2022

Like I said, it’s expensive.
But if you’re looking for a high quality and very classic razor this is it, especially for a beginner.
The plastic handle is a bit flimsy and that can be an issue but it is a very high quality steel that I believe has the perfect balance of sharpen ability while holding on to an edge.

Honestly if you have the money I would definitely recommend it, although it’s hard to justify the price it is one of the best razors out there

For the price eeeh?

Reviewed in the United States on February 7, 2022

It's just got a few small things...the edge retention is kinda lacking and leaving the slightest dampness on the metal will cause it to tarnish and rust overnight. Besides that it's not her either great or bad but I would like to see the edge retention improved which would definitely make it worth the $100 price tag

High quality, amazing value!

Update: It was barely shave ready. After two or three shaves, it felt a bit dull. I sharpened it, and now it's blazing sharp!

Arrived shave ready. I gave it a stropping and it easily passed the hanging hair test. After that, I carefully did my first ever straight razor shave. It really is better!

The blade is a really nicely made and finished piece of steel. There were no visible imperfections and it was properly sharpened.

The scales are definitely less nicely finished than the blade. They're perfectly servicible for their use. The blade fits in the middle and the tension feels right. If you want nicer scales, spend more money.

I'm extremely happy with this razor. It's my first straight razor and seems like it should last for decades.

Huge diffrence in shave between this and some of the razors in the 20 to 50 dollar range I've tried while seeing if straight razor shaving was something I wanted to stick with. Some people complain about the handle but if you are a do it yourself kinda guy just change the scales, I personally am making some scales out of some purple heart wood for mine.

Beautiful razor but NOT shave ready

Reviewed in the United States on October 23, 2018

Color: BlackSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

The razor is exceptional. My first 6/8 and I really love the look of it but it does not come shave ready. I had to use another razor to finish the shave. I will say the extra weight of the larger blade felt great. I will be sending this to a honemeister to get the edge it deserves. Still a great purchase and for a Dovo the price is pretty reasonable. Just know you will be dishing out an extra 20 bucks or so if you send this to get sharpened.

Great razor, holds a smooth edge

Reviewed in the United States on July 17, 2020

Color: BlackSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

For anyone looking at this razor, it’s a great buy. Sure, it doesn’t have fancy gold detailing or etching. But at the end of the day, you want a blade that’ll shave you well. After taking this razor to my 5k, 8k and 12k stones, then strop, it’s held one of the best edges I’ve ever used. While $100 is a little steep, this Dovo has a lot of life and is quite comfortable to use. Just make sure you either sharpen it yourself, or have someone else do it for you if the factory edge isn’t to your liking. But a definite recommend for beginner or veteran straight shavers!

Best shave ever!

I've only been using a straight razor for about a month, and originally started with a $30 box kit. It (literally) did not cut it, but it was ok to learn with. I tried this razor within 20 minutes of receiving it and I could not be happier. It came business ready right out of the box, and combined with a good post shave oil this is best my face has felt in some time. Amazing product, I probably wouldn't recommend learning with this blade but once you are comfortable handling one, this is the way to go.

Excellent Quality

Color: BlackSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

I bought this to reduce abrasions on my skin due to so many passes I needed for my thick facial hair when using disposable razors. The blade was sharp, but not sharp enough. You will need a leather strop, which I used before and after my first shaving day; I bought the Fromm Illinois Razor Strop, IRS127, 2.5 x 23".
I also bought the Norton 4k/8k, which I will use one of these days to see if I can substantially increase the sharpness.
Regarding my shave, it was really a great experience to hold a sharp razor on my own throat, cleanly shave and survive. Recommended!

Best Value for quality

Reviewed in the United States on May 25, 2019

Color: BlackSize: 1 Count (Pack of 1)Verified Purchase

This is a top notch razor. Dovo is known for quality and has a reputation and track record going back centuries. You can tell the razor is solid based on its sturdy design and weight. Sure you can get a gold dollar or cheap Chinese razor cheaper but if you take care of this it can be passed down to the next generation. Look at vintage razors and you will see lots of dovos which further proves the quality. Its worth spending a bit more to get quality that lasts!

The first one broke at the handle where the blade attaches. They sent a replacement within 72 hours.
