Product Description
The DOVO razor No. 2 in 6/8 inch has the name BISMARCK. The name stands in the 20th century as well as today for the highest razor art from Solingen. The special features of this model are its characteristic black appearance, its high weight and its incomparable handling. Exclusively our most experienced grinders produce this unique piece with a handwork percentage of over 90%. Among many fans, the burnished version is also called the "black prince".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 black finish is achieved by abrasion-resistant burnishing. Handle material
Ebony is one of the most valuable woods on earth. It is extremely hard and heavy. Therefore, it is excellently suited for the manufacture of a high-quality handle. Its structure allows the wood to hold its shape and not swell, even in humid environments. Several grinding passes are necessary to create the silky soft surface. Sharpening
With hollow grinding, the razor is ground out concave from the back to the cutting edge. This design combines great flexibility with high longitudinal torsional rigidity. The blade dynamics ensures a smooth shave accompanied by a very characteristic sound, which is triggered by the swinging of the razor at the hair section. Blade description
The round head is the classic shape of a razor and will meet most shaving situations. This blade design has been popular for centuries, as the bulbous shape is very safe to use around the ears, nose and dimples. Also, in the event of a fall, the round head protects you from injury. Blade width
A wide blade is most 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 so an unrivaled thorough as well as comfortable shave
