The Widest Straight Razor in Dovo's Amazing Range.

This straight razor's blade is a full inch wide. It's as dark as night and engraved with a proud lion - it takes courage to shave with this!

Speaking of courage. This straight razor is inspired by former American President Theodore Roosevelt's speech (from April 23, 1910) titled "Citizenship in a Republic".

An excerpt from the speech, known as "The Man in the Arena," is engraved on the back of this unique blade.

The speech beautifully asserts that it's not the critic who counts, but credit belongs to the man in the arena, who is brave and ventures into the fray without knowing the outcome, whether victory or defeat.

That's precisely why this straight razor is called Arena.

In accordance with the excerpt from the speech, a lion's head is engraved on the front of the blade, symbolizing the courage of the people in the arena.


Material
The deep, dark brown smoked oak pairs well with the black blade of the Arena straight razor. The appearance resembles an antique wooden table in a bar that has been through brawls and had cigarettes extinguished on it - hence the name: Smoked. The material's durability, resistance to moisture, and unique design variations make it a popular choice.


The Blade
The tip is a straight point and has a square tip, giving it an exclusive look. The cutting edge ends directly at the tip of the blade at a 90° angle. With a little practice, you can achieve formidable results both in precise contouring and shaving of depressions. Such blades allow you to shave comfortably with absolute precision but should only be handled by experienced users.

This straight razor has an 8/8" blade, which is a full inch wide. The broad blade is particularly suitable for men with thick beard growth or thicker hair. An 8/8 inch straight razor cuts through even the thickest stubble fearlessly. The experienced barber appreciates the blade's weight and the smooth result that follows. Especially on flat facial areas, you achieve an unparalleled, thorough, and comfortable shave.


PLEASE NOTE:
When you buy a straight razor, it is sharpened by the manufacturer. However, this is no guarantee that it is 100% "shave-ready" and we therefore always recommend that you familiarize yourself with how to strap a razor so that you are able to strap and maintain it. Read our guide here
