HOT ! Dovo - Arena Smoked Straight Razor, Square Point, 8/8\"

A full inch blade, dark as night and engraved with a proud lion, invites the same courage it represents in the hand.

This courage is at the heart of the ARENA Smoked straight razor. Inspired by Theodore Roosevelt\'s speech \"Citizenship in a Republic\", it carries the full passage known as \"The Man in the Arena\" engraved on the reverse of the blade.

The speech reminds us that it is not the critic who counts, but the person who steps into the arena and dares greatly. This razor is dedicated to those who act, strive and accept the risk of failure.

The deep dark smoked oak handle pairs naturally with the black blade. Its character and resistance to moisture make smoked oak a fitting material for high quality straight razors and shaving accessories.

During hollow grinding, the blade is ground concavely from the back to the cutting edge. This full hollow design combines flexibility with longitudinal rigidity and provides the distinctive sound and feel of the razor trimming your facial hair.

A traditional straight razor with a square point, the cutting edge ends at a 90° angle at the tip. With practice, this allows precise work on contours and dimples, and is best suited to experienced users who value exact control.

A wide blade is particularly suitable for strong beard growth and thicker hair. The 8/8 inch blade moves steadily through dense stubble, and its weight supports smooth, consistent strokes, especially over straight facial areas.

Most straight razors are made of carbon steel. After shaving, rinse the blade with warm water, then dab it dry without touching the cutting edge and leave it open to dry completely. There should be at least 48 hours between uses so the burr can realign. If you will not use the razor for an extended period, apply a thin layer of acid free oil.
