With the DOVO 515 leather balm, you rejuvenate your leather strop. First, you apply the balm to the leather, and then rub it in with a cotton cloth and polish it smoothly. Now you strop the edge of your straight razor on the smooth surface to keep it sharply honed. The leather balm also prevents your strop from drying out and extends its service life.
Ingredients: Vaseline and lanolin
Made in Germany
The notion of a straight razor being “shave ready” can mean different things to different people. All DOVO razors are fully sharpened and inspected before leaving the factory in Solingen, Germany. For the wet shave enthusiast looking for the absolute finest possible edge on their new razor, Dovo Online offers a premium “shave ready” honing service by master razor craftsman Tim Zowada.
In the modern era, Tim was the first craftsman to make razors, full time, in the United States. He was also the first razor maker to use Damascus steel, of his own manufacture, in his razors. Since then, he has continued to innovate by making his “Tim-ahagane” steel from iron ore he collects himself. As far as we know, Tim is the only person in the world currently crafting razors from steel made entirely by himself. When not making razors and knives, Tim teaches and lectures in order to preserve his craft. Tim has won awards and been published in leading blade craft journals. Tim finds honing razors “a wonderful way to break up the day with something relaxing and enjoyable.”
