Dovo Black Star 5/8” Straight Razor

The Dovo Black Star has it all: style, quality, and a sexy blade. The 5/8” blade is a very standard size, and good to learn on as it is easy to maneuver while not so narrow that it gets lost in the hand. Swedish Carbon Steel makes an amazing shaving edge that will last months at a time, while Pakkawood scales are durable and resistant to moisture.

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”.
