The 5/8 inch DOVO Barbarossa was crafted for barbers and bearded men alike. Its nimble, short blade offers pinpoint accuracy so the user can shape their facial hair with millimetric precision. Additionally, the blade features a stunning engraving of the famous Emperor Barbarossa, adding an elegant touch to this remarkable razor.

The Blade 

This straight razor is made of carbon steel with the material number 1.2210, better known as silver steel. In order to achieve a hardness of approximately 61 HRC, the material is heated to over 1000 degrees celsius and then immediately quenched with a special oil. The subsequent tempering at about 200 degrees celsius gives the blade elasticity and toughness.

The Handle 

Expensive tortoise shell has been used since ancient times to make exquisite art and furniture. This rare material was highly sought after to decorate royal courts around the world. For our product line, we want to do our part to protect these majestic, endangered turtles. We work exclusively with an imitation of silk-matte polished acrylic glass.
