robin,i also had an issue with a dovo razor and i sent it back saying i would never buy any new razor again,not just a dovo.i have been following this thread from the begining and i just came to an interesing conclusion.if you were working for dovo,i think that i would have bought another razor from them.the point that i'm trying to make is that you come across very professional,very personable and i think that is what we are looking for as consumers,answers to our questions.we know things slip by in a production scenario but we want to be assured that it is being dealt with.saying to someone "return it for refund" is not an answer as far as i'm concerned.robert.
Dovo owned Bresnick? When was that? Bresnick was started by Charles Bresnick back in the 1920s. Its a known fact some of the razors sold by Bresnick and Pearlduck were made by Dovo and he had a contractual arrangement the same as they did with the DDs made by Puma and a French Company too and the later arrangment Pearlduck had with Beau Brummel to market their razors. Remember Bresnick et al was a supply company and they made nothing so they had agreements with many companies to produce all their products and most of their products throughout their history were made in the U.S.

For what it's worth, I have purchased three ne Dovo's over the last year. Two Stainless Micarta handled, and one Silver Steel Ebony.
All three are excellent razors. I am completely satisfied with them.
I would not hesitate to recommend them.
Wow this is a very interesting thread when read in it's entirety. Unfortunately last year I also returned a very badly ground Dovo MOP to get one that's was able to be honed. Pretty much killed any future new Dovo purchases for me. My new steel TI had no noticeable flaws other than needing some honing so no complaints.
After all of this is there any consensus on reliable QC? TI seems to be better than most right now. I'm waiting on a Revisor to show up so I'm curious about their quality. What about new Bokers? Wacker? From what I've read Harts are hit or miss. Is anyone currently making consistently decent quality razors other than customs?

As a first straight I didn't notice the slight warp in the razor but after geting an antique and reading this I see the curve in my Dovo I still get a good shave from it but not near as good as the antique I have now.
