Meticulous Solingen Craftsmanship
The DOVO "Black Star" straight razor is a masterclass in functional design. Featuring a versatile 5/8" blade forged from heat-hardened Swedish Carbon Steel (Silver Steel), it delivers a full hollow grind capable of an exceptionally close shave. Whether as a perfect gift, a bundling item, or a lifetime investment for yourself, the Black Star represents uncompromising German quality.
The distinctive handle is crafted from natural brown Pakkawood. This highly engineered wood/resin composite offers the rich, warm aesthetic of traditional timber, but with enhanced density to seal out moisture. This provides superior blade protection and ensures the scales won't warp, swell, or crack over decades of daily use.

Frequently Asked Questions
What is Pakkawood and is it good for razor handles?
Pakkawood is an engineered composite made of natural wood veneers infused with resin. It is exceptionally durable, heat-resistant, and highly water-resistant, making it a vastly superior and longer-lasting material for wet environments like a bathroom vanity.
What is Silver Steel in a straight razor?
Silver steel is a high-carbon tool steel alloy famous for its exceptional edge retention and ability to take an incredibly fine, sharp edge. It does not actually contain silver; rather, it earns its name from its bright, highly polished appearance.
