Nice!
This razor from Dovo is a 5/8 inch blade made from stainless steele with a shaft made from olivewood. After every shave, the blade should be stropped with a strop.
This razor is even known under the name Dovo Inox, wich is printed in gold on the blade.
Hollow: 1/1
Do you get the feeling that the blade is dull when you get it? Try the following things:
Nice!

Satisfied so far.
The razor needed sharpening before use, otherwise very happy with the razor.
Really satisfied with a good shaft.
Great and sharp straight razor, the boyfriend (who is a beginner at using a straight razor) appreciated it a lot!
I've tried many safety razors and multi-blade razors before. No matter which razor and accessories I use, my skin gets irritated, cut, and I get pimples and such. So, I tried this knife, which required a lot of practice. Now I can do a full shave in 15-20 minutes and consider it quite good for a better shave. I had two small accidents with cuts the first week, but they bled less than the daily cuts I still get from safety razors with blades like Merkur and Feather. A good knife for beginners since it's difficult to sharpen, which means it's less scary to use. But for continued use after training, a whetstone should be used in addition to a strop. Also, remember strop paste on the strop, I messed up mine as a beginner with this knife. My experience is better with shaving cream than shaving soap with the knife. Deducting one star due to the slightly unsustainable attachment between the blade and handle, but the knife is still fully usable even with a dull attachment.
I like it a lot. It shaves really well. when it arrived i made a quick stropping, and shave. Definitely a good razor.
Good balance. Needed a bit of sharpening before the first use.
Very good razor but it wasn't very sharp straight out of the box. Needs to be stropped a good deal before use.
