Dovo Barbarossa 5/8 Short Blade Tortoiseshell Straight Razor-Spanish Point

The DOVO Barbarossa 5/8" has been distinctly designed for the needs of barbers and bearded men. The highlighted feature of this razor is its short blade; allowing it to be particularly maneuverable, and resulting in optimal precision and control. Thus the user can shape and contour his beard with not only ease, but millimeter accuracy.

The fine engraving of the famous bearded Emperor Barbarossa has been added to the fully hollow-ground carbon steel blade, giving this razor a beautiful flair.

Expensive tortoise shell has been used since ancient times to make exquisite art and furniture. This rare material was highly sought after to decorate royal courts around the world. For our product line, we want to do our part to protect these majestic, endangered turtles. We work exclusively with an imitation of silk-matte polished acrylic glass.

The Spanish point is an elaborately designed shape for razor points. Its unique shape comes from its concave form with a slightly rounded tip. This rounding also facilitates the shaving of complicated areas around the ears, nose, and dimples. Such a design offers you high precision without having to sacrifice security and control.

5/8 inch razors are true all-rounders and can do any wet shaving task with flying colours. The blade is relatively heavy and can therefore glide gently over your skin without great pressure. At the same time, it is still nimble enough to manage even more technically demanding passages around the nose, ears, and chin.

Like any other razor sold by The Classic Edge Shaving Store, this razor is professionally honed to "shave ready" by Phil. This $25 Value is our way of showing you that we are willing to take our Customer Service to the next level. After all, nothing is worse than buying a Straight Razor as a gift for a loved one, only for them to open the box and realize that they now have to send it away to be sharpened before they can use it. Also included is a free follow up honing that can be used once your razor is in need of a fresh edge.

Please allow a minimum of at least 2-3 business days for us to prepare your Straight Razor, as this is not a product that you buy just anywhere. It needs special attention to detail as it will come in contact with your skin, and must be sanitized and polished before being coated with Renaissance Wax. This careful and considerate attention to each razor is the difference between a shaving store that will rush your razor out the next morning, and our own Artisan-owned shaving store that is nothing less than extreme when it comes to making their clients 100% satisfied. It's our job to ensure that your experience is perfect. We cannot thank you enough for visiting our website, and we hope you have a great day.

Note: When you receive the razor for the first time, carefully take it out of the box and remove the oil with a piece of tissue. The razor has already been stropped and it completely "Shave Ready", so go ahead and shave! You will get 2 shaves before needing to strop (depending on how aggressive your beard growth is. Each time you have used your razor, rinse the blade with hot tap water. Carefully and thoroughly dry the blade and in between the scales with a piece of tissue paper before you close it. We recommend to oil your razor after every use. To maintain a sharp cutting edge, strop regularly prior to shaving.

No Compromise

I purchased this razor to become more familiar with the use of a straight razor.

I've been using double edge razors and want to experience the first method of shaving our for fathers used back in the day.

I moved up from the Parker SRS, which was a great starter.

Dovo makes a great product and this straight razor is no exception. Excellent product, easy maneuverability around the nose and ears and a great all around razor. Helps to build your motion/movement routine and confidence to allow you to move to the next size of straight razors.

I looked through the Canadian market and found "Classic Edge" to be the best hands down. Other suppliers DO NOT offer to hone the straight razor at all. Phil actually performs this as a normal service. In addition, Phil also gives you a FREE complementary honing service to be redeemed at your convenience. Don't bother looking anywhere else. Classic Edge is where you need to shop, honesty and integrity is where they are at.

If other suppliers were at the same level, you wouldn't be reading this review.

Thanks "Classic Edge" for your customer service and being there during my journey.
