The Bismark stands out for its ebony handles, shoulderless design, goldwash, and spinework. Underlying all this class is a fine shaving edge that delivers a fine shave after shave.

DOVO razors are among the finest examples of freshly forged high carbon steel blades from Germany, and this piece is no exception.

This razor was made in the famous city of blades in Germany (Solingen) by DOVO, and I’ve taken this fine steel up several notches by adding the finishing touches to make this blade shave just as I personally would like it – high standards to meet!

Each of these blades is put to my Japanese water stones, followed by my rare Escher Yellow/Green hone. With these traditional water stones, I set the sharpness by hand so it’s shave ready to the highest standards. If you’ve never shaved with an expertly honed “Shave Ready” blade from my shop – you’re in for a treat. The edge is so fine, it just wipes away hair, and strops like a breeze. Practice is needed, of course, but a starting shaver will love that this kit takes care of them.

A brilliant straight razor that any shaver will enjoy starting their day with.

This razor has passed my high-standard shave test, and then washed with soap and warm water, bathed in disinfecting Barbacide, and bathed in 90% isopropyl alcohol. The razor is treated with a with a long-lasting moisture barrier to ensure rust resilience during use, and shipped with a light coat of oil.

My goal is to get folks settled in a straight razor shaving. If you’re not 100% happy with the razor just send me a message.

A re-honing certificate is included with your purchase. Just mail us your razor with your receipt, and I’ll re-hone it once for free (a $40 value).

Strop Kit Details:

A timeless strop design, providing a complete stropping kit for your daily-use straight razor. The total strop length is approx 20″ with a 2″ width.

Made with U.S.A tanned leather (a higher grade than most other maker’s fine leather), it sets a fine edge on your razor shave after shave.

An great strop, perfect for learning the “x-stroke” with your straight razor. If during stropping you do make a minor cut, the thick leather is forgiving, and small cuts can be sanded away without any compromise to the functionality.
