Straight Razor Sharpening Service

To ensure that your DOVO Solingen straight razor provides excellent service for many years, it needs regular care and maintenance. The Complete Service is a full sharpening service carried out by DOVO. This service is recommended only when sharpening pastes and stropping no longer produce a workable edge.

What the service includes

The razor will be returned to Solingen, Germany for a full service by the manufacturer. They are one of the few people that have not only the skills, but the specialised equipment necessary to carry out the task.

After an initial inspection to ascertain that the razor is able to be sharpened, it then undergoes sharpening by various steps; beginning on grinding wheels, then progressing to convex sharpening stones, followed by stropping and final quality control. The scales are adjusted by fixing the pins/rivets (pins and washers will be replaced, if necessary). The razor is then cleaned, oiled and packed for return to you.
