DOVO cutting tools, scissors, manicure & wet shaving
Success story from the blade city Solingen

"Masterpieces in Steel", this is what DOVO cutting tools, scissors, razors, and manicure items are called by many users around the world. Perfection, quality, and craftsmanship Made in Germany and Made in Solingen. 

Good scissors, manicure and pedicure instruments, nail care sets, or wet shavers like straight razors and safety razors as well as the accessories are basically specialized tools. The decisive factor for a good tool is always function and quality. And especially for tools used on the body and in body care, as is the case with, for example, hair scissors, nail scissors, cuticle scissors, nail nippers, or wet shaving items, the best quality and precise manufacturing are particularly important. With simple "disposable items" that look expensive but are usually manufactured very inaccurately and are of inferior material quality, frustration during use and the risk of injury increase. With a DOVO or MERKUR item, you buy high-quality, detailed cutting instruments crafted with great artisanal skill.  

DOVO, the globally renowned brand manufacturer known for its high-class cutting products, is based in the Blade City Solingen. The name "Solingen" has made cutting products from Germany known worldwide as quality products. To protect the good reputation of Solingen cutting products from misuse, the government passed a law in 1938 to protect the name Solingen, which has since been equated with EU directives in its regulation. The use of the name Solingen requires strict standards regarding the spatial connection to the city, both in the production of the blank and in the manufacturing. In 2006, DOVO celebrated its 100th anniversary in Solingen. The company, together with its second brand MERKUR, belongs to the Solingen companies with the best reputation.

Straight razors were the foundation of manufacturing in the founding year 1906. The knowledge and skill of making these extremely sharp knives have been passed down through generations. After electric shavers became increasingly widespread, the production of high-quality hair scissors and thinning scissors was taken up as a second pillar. Quickly, DOVO hair scissors as well as household scissors, tailor's scissors, and sewing scissors also became quality products. Nail care instruments such as nail scissors, cuticle scissors, or nail nippers complemented the range. Today, straight razors or wet shavers have come back into the focus of consumers. The thorough wet shave is very popular with many men because it means a completely different quality of shaving. The perfect shaving brushes for this, of course with a badger hair knot, are also offered by DOVO.
