Is this item shave ready?

The manufacturer advertises it as "shave ready". We disagree. It could be sharper. That is why we offer one free honing and stropping when you purchase a razor. Please inquire about this service if you place an order with us.

Is this carbon or stainless? I’m seeing the reviews and details showing different answers.

The description deceptively says carbon, but I received it clearly says stainless. I’m debating returning it.

How is this different than the dovo Innox?

Dovo makes 4 inox blades in different handles This one is the olivewood full hollow inox stainless blades This is also just 1 of 4 stainless steel blades that dovo currently offers. It’s by far the most popular one. Any razor stamped with the mark 41 indicates stainless all the rest of dovo blades are carbon Hope that helps is you go to dovo.com you can see additional information.
