Thread: Newbie needing a confidence boost

Your vintage razors look like they should clean up well and shave well.

Your Dovo: if it's stainless steel, according to what I've read it will be harder to hone to a shaving edge, but will keep that edge longer. Definitely one you want to send out to a honemeister. Did you purchase it new, and if so, where did you purchase it from? If it's new, unless it came from Straight Razor Designs or Vintage Blades LLC, it may only have a factory edge, which won't be good enough for a comfortable shave.

Looks like you've gotten your hands on two pretty good razors there. Once they're honed up, you should be in great shape!

Best of luck

they look pretty decent from the photos....good luck on getting them shave ready...dont forget to share some pics with us if you get them restored

pretty razors, I am pretty sure you got your moneys worth in those two.

I hope someone has hones big enough for that Fox... Judging by the razor you put in the pic for size reference, it's enormous!

I am giant. That was a joke. I didn't realize it was in the background.
