Notice how many people are involved in the manufacturing process. They are all skilled craftspeople who deserve to be payed quite well, not drones who screw on a bolt a piece in some cheapo assembly line. There is balance and precision in every step, especially the grinding and honing. Also, you have to take into account the retailers who need payment, and the company must post a profit. All of them must make a living. I think the price is just about what it should be.
In this day in age, you're considered a bit quirky if you even shave with a straight razor. Watching this video, I can't help but think that the people who work at Dovo's factory have to deal with even more scrutiny and incredulous questions in their day to day life. "What do you mean your JOB is to make STRAIGHT RAZORS? How is it you make a living peddling a DEAD means of shaving? Do you also moonlight as a deckhand on a whaling ship or something? Are leeches your cure for a headache?"
Wird Zeit dass ich mir bald ein Rasiermesser von Dovo kaufe. Ich bin dieses ewige Klingen wechseln echt leid...Vor allem das Geld, was ich im Jahr für Gilette Rasierklingen ausgebe, kann ich mir locker ein gutes Rasiermesser für kaufen.
@KruNae Haha, it looks dangerous indeed, but only water droplets go in his face. There are other more health-devastating jobs that look just fine next to this.
@natemate49080 - I was only stating what the popular opinion probably is. Have a look at my videos and discover that I am the fuckin' straight razor mastuh!
Interesting video! I estimate very much the work of these masters of the razors.
Absolutely Stunning Lynn

Now that looks like some great German craftsmanship.

I find the Dovo quality not very good. the wood cracks, pins rust, letters fade away,hard to hone, low quality steel.
@houseofchintz
That is because they do not come shave ready. Most places that sell them tell you that they need to be honed.
I confess, my last statement was just me clearing my throat.
These straight razors run anywhere from $25 to over $500 for some models!
@douro20 das problem?
I should have taken German in high school! Ah maybe not. After 5 years of French all I can say is
est-ce que je peux aller aux toilettes ?
How about English subtitles? Not every one here speaks German.
I had to send my brand new Dovo Special to a professional honer before I could shave with it.

HumaneAnon is fergot
If they make that many straight razors a day the price should be half of what it cost.
@douro20 Pech. learn German.
