Half a Lifetime and Going Strong, 2.3.2010
|
|
Reviewer: Bob Taylor (Chino Valley, Az)

I purchased my Dovo "Special" Imitation Tortoiseshell, Full Hollow Carbon Steel, 5/8" straight razor in 1979 because I was moving to a remote tropical island and did not want to bring anything "disposable" with me.
Together with a badger bristle brush, a strop and fine Arkansas stone, this is all I have ever used to shave with in the intervening twenty-three years. The Dovo shaves as well today as it did the first time I ever used it.
Unlike disposables and "safety" razors, I have never once nicked myself with the Dovo and I laugh out loud when I hear celebrities on TV say that their electric razor, "shaves as close as a blade!"
I am now fifty-six years old and this Dovo has lasted me half a lifetime and shows no sign of giving out on me, although most of the gold has worn off of the blade and there are a few dark spots on it.
I keep it in a case when I'm not using it, strop it once or twice a week and hone it about once every three or four months. I wish that I could say that I have held up as well over the years as my Dovo razor has!
