<p><span><strong>This 5/8 inch DOVO</strong> is one of the few razors that Dovo manufactures from<strong> stainless steel</strong>. Of course, they grind this straight razor by hand in several stages and decorate the blade with 24-carat gold. The ribbed tang provides support for your fingers as they work the full hollow ground blade.</span></p> <p><span>The <strong>round point</strong> 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.</span></p> <p><span><strong>5/8</strong> inch razors are true all-rounders and can do any wet shaving task with flying colors. The blade is relatively heavy and can therefore glide gently over your skin without great pressure. At the same time, it is still nimble enough to manage even more technically demanding passages around the nose, ears, and chin.</span></p> <p><span>This straight razor is made of <strong>grade 1.4034 stainless steel</strong>. The metal shows good corrosion resistance against soaps, water, and steam and is therefore ideal for the production of high quality and incredibly sharp blades. The modern metal alloy requires very little maintenance, is easy to clean and is particularly ideal for newcomers. The elegant details are gold-plated with 24 karat gold.</span></p> <p><span>Handle material is <strong>Ebony Wood</strong>.</span></p> <p><span>To avoid stains, rinse your blade with warm water after shaving. Next, dab it dry with a cloth without touching the cutting edge and stow it open to dry completely. Between two applications there should be at least 48 hours so that the burr can realign itself. If you are not going to use your razor for a longer period of time, apply a bit of acid-free oil to it. </span></p> <p><span><strong>How to shave</strong>: Your shaving begins with stropping on a leather strop. After you have generously coated your face with shaving lather or shaving oil, grab the blade so that the open handle points away from you. With your free hand, gently hold your skin to form as straight a surface as possible. You set the blade at about 30° angle and smoothly pull it down over your face. First, start going with the hair, and then finish by going against the growth direction.</span></p> <p><span>Dimensions: 16 cm x 2.5 cm x 1.1 cm</span></p> <p>Dovo Straight Razors come with a factory edge that is guaranteed for 2 years.</p> <p>Made in Solingen, Germany.</p>
