Dovo Barbarossa 5/8" Shoulderless Razor Ebony Wood Scales Solingen Germany

Description: PLEASE ADD A 'NOTE TO SELLER' AT CHECKOUT DENOTING IF YOU WANT US TO FURTHER HONE THE RAZOR POST-FACTORY, IF WE DO NOT RECEIVE SUCH A NOTE YOU WILL RECEIVE THE RAZOR EXACTLY AS DOVO PRODUCED IT. Dovo’s 10580086 Barbarossa is a ‘shorty’ razor, same grind profile as any common type 5/8″ full hollow round head Solingen modern minus that 2.5cm or so of cutting length (and weight). The ebony scales have been shortened accordingly, and this model’s got a Spanish head and no shoulder. An Always-Enviable Spanish Point The Spanish point upon the Dovo Barbarossa is always a special offering among Solingen production. In Dovo, the Spanish point is only currently shared with the Bergischer Löwe and Sunday Shaver models. In other words, the Barbarossa is extremely easy to use around the nose/goatee/mustache area; that’s the point, and that’s also why it is short. Classic Olivewood ScalesThe ebony wood here is aged to blanks 100% formed by Dovo.

If you elect for The Superior Shave to further hone your razor, your Dovo Barbarossa will be delivered to you Guaranteed Shave Ready! The Superior Shave hones via a method best coined (by the old Thiers-Issard director) as “the opposite of tape“, where the hones’ shapes cater to performance and little else; you begin with your coarsest stone that’s shaped as the smallest imaginary wheel, and you progress to finer abrasives that are shaped as larger wheels, thus sharpening the bevel from the spine toward the actual edge, and leaving a *thin*, concave edge first and foremost. At one time, years ago, natural stones were used for the establishing and refining of a bevel. But the lapidaries necessary for such extremely refined stones no longer exist, to say nothing of sourcing the strata itself from Earth. So today, Dovo uses a pair of manmade, convex spinning discs to establish their bevels, and thereafter refines with bench stones hand shape to be mildly convex, before finishing on a pasted strop. The spinning discs are coarser, and have a shorter effective diameter, while the bench stones are finer, and have much longer effective diameters. Thus, the bevels are indeed concave, same as ever. But the steel itself can withstand much more concaving than practical today at any factory, with no negative effects for the longevity of your razor, so long as you keep exclusively to shaving with it, keeping a low spine angle, and keeping skin well stretched and lathered; for its intended job, concaving a razor bevel toward its metallurgical limits only benefits the shaver. If you intend to use your razor at an angle outside of normal shaving work or upon a surface unlike a well lathered and stretched beard, however, a flat or even a convex bevel will better endure such odd usage of these tools. There is no wrong or right choice for factory edge/further honed, but please do not believe all factory edges are never ‘Shave Ready’ – that is an absurd, yet common, belief. It is certainly the intention of Dovo when producing the razor that you to only need strop (after wiping off the factory oil!) just prior to shaving to receive a terrific shave. Thanks for reading this, and happy shaving!
