Frequently Asked Questions
Are DOVO straight razors shave-ready out of the box?
+
Handcrafted in Solingen, Germany, DOVO straight razors are factory-honed to an exceptionally sharp edge. However, we highly recommend stropping the blade on a premium leather strop before your very first shave to perfectly align the microscopic fin for maximum comfort.
Should I choose a carbon steel or stainless steel DOVO razor?
+
Carbon steel blades are traditional, easier to hone, and hold a finer edge, but require meticulous drying and oiling to prevent rust. Stainless steel blades are highly corrosion-resistant and require less maintenance, making them ideal for humid bathroom environments.
How do I maintain and prevent my DOVO straight razor from rusting?
+
Always rinse the blade with warm water and thoroughly dry the entire razor immediately after shaving. For carbon steel models, apply a light coat of camellia oil or mineral oil before storing it in a dry, well-ventilated space to prevent oxidation.
