For this razor, Dovo has used bamboo, which is a highly sustainable, ecologically responsible product. Bamboo is one of the fastest growing plants on the planet. Due to the plant's ability to regenerate, products made with bamboo are considered environmentally friendly. The bamboo scales of the Dovo 5/8" blade straight razor show the natural warm, golden color and unique grain of the bamboo. The plant's strength increases over time, making it a harder product than maple. Bamboo is naturally anti-microbial, making it the perfect material for straight razor scales. The blade and bamboo are easily maintained, requiring cleaning and drying after each use, making this the perfect straight razor for any first-time or seasoned user.
