Dovo Solingen Mother of Pearl Straight Razor

The DOVO No. 98 has been beloved by customers for many decades. The detailed engravings on the blade and back perfectly complement the sheen of its mother-of-pearl-coloured scales. The exceptional quality of this razor is evident from the DOVO inlay on its handle and a 5/8 inch blade that is fully hollow ground.

• Handle Material -  Acrylic, mother-of-pearl imitation
• Dimensions - 16.2 cm x 2.5 cm x 1.2 cm

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 ornaments are beautifully gold-plated with 24 karat gold.

The Handle

Whether as a piece of furniture inlay or jewellery - mother-of-pearl has been used for centuries for the luxurious finishing of high-quality products. For ethical reasons, we work solely with a mother-of-pearl imitation made of acrylic glass. Through selected manufacturing processes, we are able to imitate the iridescent colour play of real mother-of-pearl and simultaneously combine it with the long-lasting properties of acrylic.
