A bit unfortunate that the knife was not shave ready. But after it was sharpened, it's so good.
Straight razor from Dovo with 5/8 inch blade made from carbon steele and the handle is made from black cellidor (very hard plastic).
Before every shave the blade should be stropped, using a strop.
Do you get the feeling that the blade is dull when you get it? Try the following things:

The sharpest knife shaves really close and clean!
As expected.
Really sharp and nice. Smooth to shave with and not too expensive.
Fine blade, my first, therefore I have no real comparison.
Completely okay, maybe a bit long for a first straight razor, not too heavy. Simple without any embellishments.
Really liked the razor but was disappointed when I went to shave. Even though I honed it thoroughly, it wasn't sharp. I think that's bad. Now I have to send it for sharpening, which costs extra, and I have to wait a couple of weeks to start using a newly purchased item, not fun.
The knife was sharp but could have been a bit sharper for a comfortable shave.
too plasticky and light, however satisfied overall. good as a "first razor", but definitely not my favorite.
A very good knife that met my expectations. Reasonably priced as well.
