DOVO SOLINGEN 5/8" straight razor

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

Whether as a piece of furniture inlay or jewellery - mother-of-pearl has been used for centuries for the luxurious finishing of high-quality products.
For ethical reasons, we work solely with a mother-of-pearl imitation made of acrylic glass.
Through selected manufacturing processes, we are able to imitate the iridescent colour play of real mother-of-pearl and simultaneously combine it with the long-lasting properties of acrylic.

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.

PRODUCT DETAILS

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.
