The DOVO 152 razor strop is used to sharpen the edge of your razor before each shave. First, you tighten the strop. Then you pull the straight razor along the strop on each side of the blade without putting pressure on it. You can also hang the strop. It maximizes space because you can roll it up and stow it at home.

    High Quality

    This is a fine strop. The leather is very high quality. I carry this with while working in the oil fields of the western US. Helps me keep a keen edge.

LEATHER

For strops, Dovo exclusively uses vegetable-tanned cow leather. This technique, also known as "old tanning", prepares the leather for optimal use as a strop. Dovo treats their leather this way to ensure that it has no scarring or unevenness making it perfectly suited for stropping straight razors with its supple surface.

Zowada Premium “Shave Ready” Honing Service

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.”
