The ice tempered stainless steel blades for these razors were forged by DOVO in 1967 but never used. They were recently discovered, ground and given a modern twist with the addition of acrylic handles, in DOVO heritage colours, in this case blue. The razors have jimping to the lower tang, a plain spine and are engraved with an individual serial number. Each colour variant is limited to 500 pieces and we have 6 of each colour in stock bearing the serial numbers 68 to 73 inclusive. “Facharbeit” translates literally as “skilled work”.

Supplied in a white cotton pouch and DOVO cardboard presentation box.

Dovo History

Founded in 1906, the company DOVO Steelware of Solingen, Germany was originally purely a factory producing straight razors, with a forge and hollow grinding shop employing thirteen workers. The name DOVO derives from the names of the founders of the company, Mr. Dorp and Mr. Voos. As a mark of German craftsmanship, the name "Solingen" enjoys the confidence of the whole world. In order to keep this trust and with it the reputation of the Solingen cutting tools, and to prevent misuse of this name, the German government passed a law in 1938 to protect the name of Solingen. The law makes stipulations relating to the geography of the production area with the intention of protecting regional industry. If an article is manufactured in Solingen but the raw materials (i.e. the blanks) are produced elsewhere, the article may not bear the Solingen name. The law "for the protection of the name of Solingen", distinguishes between so-called hot-forged and the cold-forged items, which do not bear the Solingen mark of quality.

The name Dovo of Solingen, has therefore become synonymous with the Dovo quality standard of German engineering and the hot forged steel processes still used in production of the fine shaving razors listed on this website.
