Product Description
Coming in at ~38 grams with a ~44mm cutting length, Dovos 46 Barbarossa is a shorty razor, same grind profile as any common type 5/8 full hollow round head Solingen modern minus that 2.5cm or so of cutting length (and weight),The ebony scales have been shortened accordingly, and this 46581 new-for-2021 models known as the Moustache 46 razor. Why havent I tried one of these? Spoiled for choice, I suppose. OK, dont suppose. Sheesh. Tough grader. Anyway, lord knows honing its going to be a billion times easierI cant miss down there (maybe it looks as so in the countless vids but you underestimate the advantage of closest to the fulcrum and the resultant great reduction on stone mileage necessary to get the same thing). So far these little guys feel a little funny on the stones, but what can I say about them,Since this has a rounded head and the other 45581, too, has the shoulder at this size, it seems a best candidate to go play with, for myself. I go for the Spanish/French/square head only if it comes with some other advantage like no shoulder, thinner, etc. I wish round head and no shoulder would come back, thats really gone away from Solingen.
Brand Story
DOVO was born when Carl Dorp and Carl Arthur Voos opened their first factory dedicated to forging and finishing straight razors. Using the first two letters of their last name, Dorp and Voos, they came up with the DOVO name.
