Dovo Edo Beech Straight Razor

Hundreds of years of craftsmanship. Hardwood cultivated for years. A year of refinement. All culminating in the ideal shave. The impeccable construction of the blade pays tribute to the legendary Japanese sword-smiths. As the razor glides across the face, one appreciates the craftsmanship that makes this an iconic piece.

The sustainably-sourced Beechwood handle has been strengthened and hardened through a revolutionary process to withstand moisture and soap. After use, the razor is much too valuable to put away: The polished tang, back, and curvature create a captivating aesthetic. 5/8”, Carbon Steel, hollow-ground, round spine.

The Blade 
This straight razor is made of carbon steel with the material number 1.2210, better known as silver steel. In order to achieve a hardness of approximately 61 HRC, the material is heated to over 1000 degrees celsius and then immediately quenched with a special oil. The subsequent tempering at about 200 degrees celsius gives the blade elasticity and toughness.

The Handle 
The exclusive handle combines tradition with modernity. The sustainable SwissWood beech wood from Switzerland is brought to an incredibly high hardness through an innovative compaction process, so that the wood defies the adversities of water, soap and is thus in no way inferior to the longevity of the blade.
