KEY INFORMATION
- All razors are guaranteed shave-ready by our staff.
- For help using your razor, we suggest you take a Straight Razor Shaving Class at one of our stores or feel free to contact us for advice.
- This razor is made from high carbon steel, capable of amazing sharpness and great edge retention but requires a little extra care. Be sure to dry your razor well after every use, and oil with Blade Oil or store in a dry place.
- All straight razors must be stropped before use to straighten burrs and polish the edge for the smoothest shave possible. Be sure to use a good quality strop and accurate technique.
- Honing/ Sharpening should be done on Japanese synthetic or natural whetstones. You can bring your blade into the Kent of Inglewood store to be honed, with the first time free on any blades purchased from us. Razor honing classes are also available at your nearest Kent of Inglewood location.
About Dovo - Dovo was founded in 1906 in Solingen, Germany, by Mr. Dorp and Mr. Voos, who split their surnames to form the company name “Dovo". In those early years, they produced only traditional straight razors like many other factories in Solingen at the time, with only 13 staff. Expanding later into scissors and grooming tools through the mid 20th century, their straight razor production went from 8000 per year to 3000 per month with a resurgence in wet shaving. In 1996 Dovo acquired Merkur to round out their offerings to include safety razors, providing discerning folk with all manner of “meisterwerke en stahl”, or “masterpieces in steel”.

Q&A
- does all the Dovo Straight razors come with a case? I might be interested in purchasing a straight razor in the future and it will be my first time using a straight razor but I have recently purchased a shavette thinking it would be a great starting point knowing that it may not be exactly the same but similar technique. I will be trying the shavette this weekend looking forward to it. What would be your suggestion to start with I do know I would need a strop as well. I live in North Bay Ontario so going to your location for a class or two isn't viable as it would be a 400km drive one way but that is a great idea and with Covid at this time still not a good Idea I would think as well. I have been wet shaving for about 4 years but using a Gillette fusion razor but since April of this year I have been using various DE razors and also Gem Micromatic and 1912 model and really love them. Any kind of recommendations will be appreciated. Brian
- The Dovo Astrale does come with a tin case which does a decent job. I would be happy to suggest other straight razors, do you have much preference in terms of design? As far as strops go, I love the ones that e carry from Ezra Arthur. A basic bridle strop does a great job, although I find the horsehide strops to work even better: https://www.kentofinglewood.com/products/ezra-arthur-english-bridle-strop?variant=763768012828 https://www.kentofinglewood.com/products/ezra-arthur-natural-horsehide-strop?variant=763767128092 If you're learning, check out kentofinglewood.com/youtube, we have some handy instructional videos!
