Considered to be the most beautiful razor design ever produced by Dovo with a top tier blade to go with it. And YES, it is made from real (interior core) Siberian Mammoth Ivory, possibly more than 20,00 years old. No 2 razors are alike. Extra hollow ground means that this blade is extremely thin and actually makes a musical note, "singing" when plucked. This blade will flex slightly to the contours of the face. The 5/8 extra hollow ground blade is made from high carbon steel, Dovo's finest blade mounted on their finest handle. Tastefully, Gold plated spine, shank and tang.
