DOVO ARENA “Smoked” – 8/8" straight razor
A full inch of blade, dark as night: blued carbon steel 1.2210, square point, roof-shaped spine, concave profile (full hollow) and thumb notch. Scales made of smoked oak. The excerpt “The Man in the Arena” from Roosevelt's speech is engraved on the back.
An 8/8" blade takes courage – and that is exactly what it stands for. The lion engraving symbolises determination; the back bears the famous excerpt from “The Man in the Arena”. The high blade weight ensures steady guidance and a particularly full shaving feel, even with dense beard growth. The smoked oak gives the razor a warm, natural feel and a distinctive look.
Highlights:
-
8/8" – maximum smoothness and thoroughness
-
Blued 1.2210 (silver steel) – sharp, elastic, classic dark finish
-
Square point, roof-shaped spine, concave profile, thumb notch – precise control
-
Lion engraving on the side; quote “The Man in the Arena” on the spine
- Scales made of smoked oak – elegant, grippy, uniquely grained
