The half hollow razor is recommended for beginner straight razor shavers because it is more forgiving compared to a fully hollowed blade. Half hollow razors are more dense than full hollow razors and retain their shape better and stay true to form. They will also take more damage from day to day use.

RoyalShave brings you one of the largest selections of Dovo open razors, just like the ones used in vintage barbershops. Each and every product is imported directly from their factory in Solingen, Germany. All Dovo straight razors come factory certified “ready to shave” and are great for both beginners and expert wet shaving enthusiasts.
