Dovo 180 XL Razor Strop

The Dovo 180 XL Razor Strop is a masterfully crafted grooming essential, designed specifically for professionals and enthusiasts who demand the highest quality when maintaining their straight razors. Manufactured in Solingen, Germany—the world’s renowned capital for precision blades and grooming tools—this strop upholds Dovo’s long-standing reputation for excellence and tradition in wet shaving accessories.

Crafted from premium vegetable-tanned cowhide, the Dovo 180 XL offers a superior surface for stropping, ensuring your razor remains perfectly honed and aligned for a smooth, irritation-free shave. The natural leather is carefully selected for its strength, flexibility, and ability to condition the edge of the blade without causing wear. Stropping with the 180 XL restores your razor’s fine edge by realigning microscopic burrs, prolonging sharpness and reducing the need for frequent honing.

What sets the Dovo 180 XL apart is its extra-large design, offering a longer and wider stropping surface compared to traditional strops. Measuring approximately 20 inches (50 cm) in length and 3 inches (8 cm) in width, this strop provides ample room for full passes with most straight razors, making it especially useful for barbers and dedicated wet shavers. Its generous size also reduces the need for the traditional X-pattern technique, allowing a more straightforward stropping motion and contributing to a more consistent edge.

The strop features a solid metal hanging loop and a sturdy, padded handle for excellent grip and tension control. This design allows you to maintain a tight, flat surface throughout the stropping motion, ensuring safety and precision with every pass. The leather is paired with a textile reverse side that can be used with a stropping paste or as a warm-up surface, offering versatility for your razor maintenance routine.

Every detail of the Dovo 180 XL Razor Strop speaks to quality. The stitching is clean and reinforced, the edges are hand-finished to prevent fraying, and the leather is pre-treated to enhance durability and performance from the very first use. It’s a strop built not just for functionality, but for longevity—making it a long-term investment in your grooming gear.

Maintenance is simple: store it flat or hang it in a dry, cool place, and condition the leather occasionally with strop paste or leather balm to keep it supple. With proper care, the Dovo 180 XL will maintain its performance and aesthetic appeal for years to come.

Ideal for home use or professional barbershop settings, the Dovo 180 XL Razor Strop is a luxurious yet practical addition to any shaving kit. It pairs perfectly with Dovo’s straight razors and is the ultimate accessory for achieving a barbershop-quality shave at home.

Whether you're refining your grooming ritual or searching for the perfect gift for a traditional shaving enthusiast, the Dovo 180 XL offers timeless quality, expert German craftsmanship, and unmatched performance.
