Dovo Prima Straight Razor Ebony & Gold Plated Blade
The Dovo Prima is a classic straight razor from Dovo of Solingen with a 5/8 inch carbon steel blade and a luxurious ebony wood handle.

The blade is made using only the best quality, Swedish, carbon steel, which is hollow ground with a round point and etched with 24K gold.

Ebony, used to create the handle, is one of the most valuable woods in the world and is extremely hard and heavy allowing the wood to retain its shape, even in humid environments and prevents swelling.

All Dovo Solingen straight razors come honed and ready to go and are presented in a metal case.

CAUTION: Straight razors like this one are serious tools that should only be used by very experienced users and can cause serious injury in the wrong hands!

CARE INSTRUCTIONS: This straight razor requires special care to keep it at its best.  The cutting edge needs to be protected from contact or impact with any hard surface at all times.  After each shave, you will need to clean and dry your straight razor with a soft paper towel, taking care not to touch the cutting edge, then strop it to keep the blade sharp.  Use the canvas side of your strop to clean the cutting edge after each shave.  If you won’t be using your razor for more than a couple of days, you will need to cover it with a light coat of oil to ensure it stays rust-free, this is particularly important with carbon steel blades.  We always recommend taking your straight razor to a professional for sharpening unless you have extensive honing experience as its easy to make an irreparable mistake and damage your blade.  If you’re looking for an expert get in touch – we can refer you to a pro-sharpener!
