The Dovo razor No. 2 in 6/8 inch is named Bismarck. This name has represented the highest craftsmanship in razors from Solingen in the 20th century and still does today. What makes this model special is its characteristic noble appearance, its substantial weight, and its unparalleled handling. The offered non-stainless razor 26810 in 6/8 inch features a full hollow grind, which is particularly suitable for a deep and thorough wet shave across the entire area of the cheek, upper lip, chin, and neck. The non-stainless carbon steel blade with gold embossing provides the highest sharpness but requires more attention in maintenance than a razor with a stainless blade. The handle scales are made of exquisite ebony with a golden pattern. There is no universal rule for keeping razors sharp. In some cases, a light stropping on the palm may be sufficient to realign the blade, especially if it has been resting for several days. The microscopically fine edge returns to its original position, which was altered during shaving. However, depending on usage, there will come a time when a strop must be used to realign the blade.
