Description
This Dovo 1516-580 Straight Razor has gold etching on a carbon steel blade forged in Solingen, Germany. Dovo makes this plastic handle to look like an amber tortoise shell. The full hollow ground blade measures 5/8 inches wide. Etched on the handle of the blade is “DOVO SOLINGEN 1516”. Imported by Conk from Dovo in Solingen, Germany.
The carbon steel blade has these advantages: the edge is easier to sharpen, and the blade generally holds a sharper edge longer. However a carbon blade requires cleaning and thoroughly drying after each use to prevent rusting. In case of long-term storage, a light coat of mineral oil will help keep the blade from damage.
The blade of your open straight razor has a very fine and vulnerable cutting edge. Cutting other materials than beard hair may damage or destroy it. Careful stropping of the blade before shaving maintains the blade’s cutting ability for several months, but too much pressure on the strop can damage the fine cutting edge.
