Product Description
The DOVO razor 3 in 6/8 inch carries the nickname "Bergischer Lwe" and belongs to the best of the best with its Spanish head, the finely machined blade decorated with gold and the noble handle scales. As a tribute to our home region and its history, the lion as heraldic animal adorns each of the handmade razors. For optimal guidance of the razor it has a thumb grip.Material
This razor is made of carbon steel with the material designation 1.2210, better known as silver steel. To achieve a hardness of circa 61 HRC, the material is heated to over 1000 degrees and then immediately quenched with a special oil. The subsequent tempering at about 200 degrees gives the blade elasticity and toughness. The ornaments are created by coating with 24 karat gold. Handle material
Cattle horn is a particularly noble material and therefore ideally suited to form the handle of the BERGIAN LION. Each handle part has an individual grain and a unique play of colors. In an elaborate process, the African horn is brought into shape to be elaborately ground in a further work step. Finally, the unique piece is finely polished several times. Ground
With the hollow grind, the razor is ground out concave from the back to the cutting edge. This design combines great flexibility with high torsional rigidity in longitudinal form. The blade dynamics provides a smooth shave accompanied by a very characteristic sound, which is triggered by the vibration of the razor at the hair section. Blade Description
The Spanish head is an elaborately designed head shape of razors. What makes this head special is that it is concave in shape with a slightly rounded tip. This rounding makes it easier to shave even complex passages around the ears, nose and dimples. Such a design gives you high precision without having to sacrifice a minimum of safety. Blade width
A wide blade is particularly suitable for gentlemen with strong beard growth or thicker hair. A razor in 6/8 inch glides unflinchingly through even the densest facial hair. The experienced barber appreciates the high dead weight of the blade and the resulting smooth running behavior. Especially on smooth parts of the face you achieve an unrivaled close and comfortable shave.
