Dovo 2Bismarck Pearl, 6/8 Full Hollow, Round point​

On the road again. This time I am traveling with this Dovo 2Bismarck Pearl, not so fancy however it is doing its job. And, yes, it does not compare to a Mastro Livi razor at all but I am however glad because I took with me the lovely Mastro Livi Travel Loom Strop.​

Razor: 2013 Muhle Baseplate w C410i Spitfire Mk. Ia (3D printed top cap)
Blade: Personna Med Prep (D1)
Brush: FS Faux Horn 24mm Pur-Tech
Bowl: Dirty Bird 1.5 Scuttle
Pre Shave Soap: MRGLO Lime
Pre Shave Balm: Proraso Sensitive
Shave Cream: Cella Extra Extra Purissima (brick)
Post: Monster Alum Block
Aftershave: Floid SE Mentolado Vigoroso

​

This morning, got bold and tried a 3D printed top cap that claims to replicate the venerable Muhle 2011 R41. If you take a close look at the picture you will see a clear top cap with the Personna Med Prep clearly seen. Well after just one shave I can say that his puppy is just as sharp or maybe a tad more aggressive than my 2011 R41. I didn't think of taking a side by side picture of the top caps but they look identical in width and height with the naked eye. Being a 3D printed head if I run my finger from blade side to blade side you can feel ridges going lengthwise and I sure it plays a little bit into the razor being a little aggressive but the razor did not skip, tug, or leave any weepers and as I previously stated it feels as aggressive if not a little bit more so than a 2011 R41 as the top cap can flex a little. The developer is requesting feedback on the design as well as material and eventually they are looking at a metal top cop and farther down the road possibly a baseplate. For little over $21 it was worth the money spent.

Cheers Love how you're brush jumps out! My cam can't get that kind of 'depth'. (Not good with photo-lingo)
