DOVO Straight Razors

Dovo is one of only two major makers of straight razors still in operation today that are both high quality and mass made; the other is Thiers-Issard from France. There are several artisans around who create individual pieces, such as Tim Zowada and Mastro Livi; very high quality, but harder to buy due to limited supply.

Incidentally, there are mass produced pieces from companies out of Pakistan and China, but I do NOT recommend them, because the blade metal is not good quality. There have been many complaints from people who have bought these blades about how hard they are to keep sharp and some blades have even snapped while sharpening! You won't have that kind of problem from Dovo, Thiers-Issard, or any individual artisan.

Choose a high quality Dovo and you won't regret it!
