Video: Making of Dovo Straight Razors

[aschaab]

Hi all,

from the German "Nassrasur" (Wet Shaving) forum there was a hint on a report on German TV about Dovo and the making of straight razors.

You will find the online-video here :

Sorry, the page and video are AFAIK in German only, but I hope the video is nevertheless interesting.

Best regards, have fun

This is actually quite cool. Thanks!

My German isn't so strong... could anyone post a transcript?

Unfortunately I am a bit short on time right now, but perhaps I find some time during the weekend...

Interesting video even if I couldn't understand a word lol Thanks for the heads up Axel!

That was a surprise to see how they hone their razors towards the end. Seems like they are back-honing at the same time they hone.

Axel, do you by any chance have the high res video on your hard drive? I'm having a really bad luck with my ISP

I thought that was very cool. I speak very basic German so I managed to follow the basic gist of what they were saying although I definitely didn't catch anywhere close to all of it. The whole honing and stropping bit of the video kind of surprised me, that's definitely not what I thought I would see.

I forwarded it to a friend of mine who's a very proud German, I thought he'd get a kick out of it.

Well, yes, the honing is not following exactly what is taught all over this place

But then it seems to be working, as the HHT is passed ok - I think its a matter of experience, which this lady without doubt will have ...

Axel, what are the main honing methods and stones mentioned at the Nassrasur forum?
