Customer Reviews
Razor itself is visually beautiful. However the lower point is chipped.
Beautiful razor. I look forward to my first shave with it!
I recently bought the Dovo Imitation Pearlex Straight Razor 5/8" Round Point Carbon Steel. It was ready to shave out of the beautiful box. It is a stunning looking razor and the shipping was fast and trouble free. Thank you Grown Men Shave!
I was surprised when I received this razor and shaved with it the first time, as it needed honing. I have several Dovo razors and this is the first one that wasn't ready to go out of the box. So I honed it and then tried it again several days later and it is now my favorite razor. I like everything about it, especially the extra weight it has. It is also one of those blades that sings as it is being used. Similar to a very sharp plane going over hard maple or white oak. All around great razor.
I am new to straight razor shaving. The barber I went to used a barberette. I purchased a naked armor and then the Dovo barbarossa. The Dovo in my opinion is much easier to use probably due to it's smaller size and grind. Definitely recommend if you're just doing detailing after a haircut.
Works really well!
The set is really perfect for traveling. When traveling, I don’t need an entire manicure set, and I already have several pairs of spare clippers. But a file and scissors are necessities. This set is small but the file is very effective and efficient and the scissors work well. The first set I received had some rust spots. GMS kindly replaced the item with a new set which was perfect.
Amazing razor.
I bought a Thiers Issard and was very disappointed in the blade. Even after sharpening and honing to 12000 it did not cut great, I ordered this razor and man, what a difference! This passed the hair test form the factory (before stropping) and was a pleasure. U did a quick hone at 12000 and it is like butter with a hot knife now through the hair test. THids was far less than the other one a far greater quality out of the box.
They have slots to hold blade! Buy black or red or clear instead
