The Bergischer Löwe or DOVO 3 Straight Razor embodies the grandiose history of Dovo’s home region. It has a 6/8 inch Spanish point blade adorned with a gold-plated heraldic lion and a handcrafted black ebony handle. Designed to be a top-of-the-line shaving tool, the Bergischer Löwe guarantees to be the best.

✅ Also available in 5/8" blade.

Blade

• Carbon steel 1.2210, 24k gold-plated
  
  The Bergischer Löwe’s blade wears 1.2210 carbon steel or silver steel with 61 HRC hardness and a face sporting 24-karat-gold-plated details. It has been heated to over 1,000 °C and tempered to about 200 °C to achieve maximum elasticity and toughness.
  
  
• Spanish point, sculpted spine, concave profile
  
  The Bergischer Löwe’s cutting edge extends longer than its spine, creating a notable tip known as the Spanish point. It sports a small rounded spine tip and concave edge profile. The tip allows for extra precision in shaving narrow areas, and the curved edge provides better visibility of the ideal blade-to-skin angle.
  
  
• Full hollow grind
  
  The Bergischer Löwe went through a rigorous full hollow grinding process to guarantee ultimate precision and control. Its featherweight width, concaving from its back to its cutting edge, is ideal for a functional design to achieve a clean and close shave. The edge bevels perfectly on the skin, offering a satisfying sound and gentle shave sans vibration.
  
  
• 6/8"
  
  The 6/8 inch width of the blade acts as a versatile shaving partner that can cater to any wet shaving task, especially for thicker and stronger beard growth. The blade’s heft or weight accounts for a close and smooth shave in fewer passes around the nose, ears, and chin without applying too much pressure. In the end, it prevents accidental nicks and horrid skin irritations after shaving.
  

Handle

• Black ebony wood, thumb notch on the tang
  
  Made from million-dollar wood, Black Ebony, and donning a thumb notch on the tang, the Bergischer Löwe’s handle guarantees long-lasting resilience, optimum blade-to-handle balance and shape retention, and perfect grip. This lessens the risk of accidental nicks and slips while shaving.

Size

• 15.9 cm x 2.7 cm x 1.1 cm

Shaving Guide

Before using any straight razor, the blade should be run through a leather strop 15-20 times on each side. Prepare your lather on a shaving scuttle and prep your skin with a warm towel. Apply a shaving oil before putting a generous amount of lather on your face using a shaving brush. Hold your razor with the handle pointing away from you and use your free hand to gently stretch the skin opposite to the area you are shaving. Shave while following a natural and comfortable direction.

Maintenance

To guarantee that a carbon steel straight razor blade stays at its prime quality, ensure that it is completely dry after use. Dab the blade dry with a cloth while avoiding the edge and hang it in a razor stand to drain excess moisture properly. Let the razor rest for 48 hours before shaving again to have the burr realign itself. If the razor is not going to be used for an extensive period, apply an acid-free oil before storing it.
