Dovo Straight Razor Nr 4 Silversteel 5/8"

The Dovo No. 4 Prima Silversteel buffalo horn razor is a particularly high-quality razor. Its blade is made of carbon steel with the material designation 1.2210, also known as Silversteel. To achieve a hardness of about 61 HRC (Rockwell), the material is heated to over 800 degrees and then quenched in oil. The subsequent tempering at about 200 degrees gives the blade elasticity and toughness. The ornaments are created by coating the blade with 24 carat gold.

The blade is 5/8 inch wide with a round head and is fully hollow ground. The blade dynamics ensure a smooth shave accompanied by a very characteristic sound, which is triggered by the swinging of the razor at the hair section.

The handle is made of cow horn and therefore ideally suited to form the hilt of the No. 4. Each part of the handle has an individual grain and a unique play of colour. In an elaborate process, the African horn is brought into shape to be elaborately polished in a further work step. Finally, the unique piece is finely polished several times.

The knife comes in the typical blue metal box. A classic suitable for beginners and advanced knives.

Handmade in Solingen.

Horn is a natural product, each razor is unique, deviations from the example image are natural.
