DOVO Seven-Day Straight Razor Set, 6/8 Bismarck

All Natural Bone Handles

Imported from Solingen, Germany - World's Fine Cutlery Capitol

This handsome Seven-Day Set is comprised of seven identical razors, each one etched with a different day-of-the-week on its spine. Sets like this were very popular among the Aristocracy prior to the turn of the 20th Century. Not only was possession of such a treasure a sign of wealth and status, but it served the practical purpose of reducing the use of any single blade thereby extending the period between honing to only once every 2-3 years. As useful a technique today as it was over 100 years ago!

The razor's blade is designed in the Classic, Vintage style of the 19th Century. It is forged from High Carbon Steel into a blank that is then Tempered by Both Fire and Ice. The blade takes shape in the hands of a Master Craftsman who shapes and grinds the blank into a semi-finished 6/8 Full Hollow Ground blade. The blade's finishing includes: Custom File Work to shape the blade's back; Decorative and Brand Stamps on the front and rear of the shank; Polishing to a mirror finish front and rear; Heavy Gold Plating of the entire spine, shank and tang and Two-Color 24k Gold Decorative Etching on Blade face and only then final sharpening and polishing.

The blades are mounted to white colored All Natural Bone handles, each with a Silver engraving plate, which are made especially for this distinctive razor.

This set is completed by the included all wood storage and presentation case.
