Dovo Straight Razor Bismarck Black Ebony 6/8

Bismarck is an exclusive straight razor from Dovo, made of silver steel with a noble ebony handle. An elegant razor that lies heavy and comfortable in the hand.

Razors in the size 6/8 inch are especially suitable for men with thick beards or thick hair, as the blade is slightly wider. The razor slides unhindered even through the thickest facial hair. The experienced often appreciates the heavy weight of the blade. The material in the knife has warmed up to over 1000 degrees and then immediately cooled down with a specific oil. The subsequent curing at about 200 degrees gives the blade late elasticity. The surface has since been covered with 24 carat gold.

Shaving with a Straight Razor

Using a razor is a traditional and luxurious way to shave. If you have never used a razor before, you may need a little practice to get a good technique. Remember to use the right angle and the right pressure against the skin. The razor should be at a 30 degree incline and almost caress the skin with a light pressure. Use gentle movements and avoid pushing the knife against the skin. Use the other hand to stretch the skin for an easier glide with the knife.
