Undoubtedly the most beautiful razor ever produced by DOVO, and an equally superior shaver! The most striking aspect of this Limited Production Razor is its handle - Hand Made from Genuine Mammoth Ivory only recently unearthed in the far northern reaches of the Siberian Steppes and estimated at between 20,000 and 30,000 years old. Each razor's handle is unique and individually beautiful due to the one-of-a-kind graining that reveals itself during the shaping and polishing of each individual handle scale. Due to the uniqueness of the natural Ivory used each razor is individual and the graining of the ivory varies from one razor to another. It is important to mention that the Ivory used for these handles comes from deep inside the mammoth tusks. It is not the rough weatd "bark" found on the outside of the tusk that is more commonly available and is far less beautiful and valuable. The Ivory is bonded to a strong Natural Ebony substrate to prevent warpage, impart additional tensile strength and prevent the cracking that is so typical of most genuine ivory razor handles. Additionally, the handle scales are secured with Three Pins, the center pin is concealed between the ebony and ivory so as not to detract from the ivory's natural graining, the two end pins are the heavy-duty flush-mounted polished nickel-silver pins that are reserved
