Dovo Barbarossa Ebony

The 5/8 inch DOVO Barbarossa is tailored to suit the demands of barbers and bearded individuals. Its shorter blade offers added maneuverability and precision, enabling users to shape and groom their facial hair with millimetric accuracy. Enhanced by a fine engraving of the iconic bearded Emperor Barbarossa, this razor presents a unique aesthetic touch.

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

Ebony is one of the most valuable woods on earth. It is extremely hard and heavy. Therefore, it is perfect for the production of a high-quality handle. Its structure allows the wood to retain its shape even in humid environments and prevents swelling of the material. Several grind cycles are necessary to create the silky smooth surface.
