The Dovo 715 models-5/5.5/6" lengths-offer a classic profile, a layer of rubber for the ring used by the middle finger, a finger rest, and a classic 35° non-corrugated cutting angle that's easy as pie to maintain.  They use ice-tempered stainless steel, which makes for an edge that takes a long, long time to deteriorate from normal use.

The #715 reaches a more refined edge than the basic #16 corrugated style, but requires periodic sharpening (which I find a cinch using a small, long and thin scrap of coticule).

Dovo "Keen Cut" 202 506
The Keen Cut 202 506 is a 2-seat, mid-engine sportscar 5" scissor with a hollow ground, razor sharp/honed cutting edge.  You'll get exceptionally-controlled cutting precision that's more immediate than the corrugated or un-honed hollow ground edge, as well as a higher need for resharpening, too.  Try rubbing a wet coticule slurry stone right at the edges to keep them running at full throttle.

Keen Cut's got a half-polished, half-satin finish, and a center screw which can be adjusted with the included tool.

Keen Cut's also supplied with a gorgeous leather sheath, and it can be attached to a belt...apparently the barbers tell me some like to keep little shears such as this at the ready for touch-ups.

Sorry for the stock image above; the 2nd image showing the lovely sheath that's included is from stock, but they wrap these things up in waxy paper that's more complicated than a Rubik's cube.

Keen Cut's only produced in this 5" size, is officially discontinued (not on pricelist, & no more production), but still has some manufactured stock left to distribute to earth...it will be missed a sweet lil pocket rocket.

The Dovo 204 models-5/5.5/6" lengths-adds a step up in sharpness vs the corrugated 'base' models shown above, using hollow-ground blades instead of corrugated ones and reduced cutting angle on the blade edges.  The body of the Dovo #204 is teflon-coated for a distinct feel and appearance.

This model will reach a more refined edge than the corrugated styles above, but (as with any knife) the edges also require a bit more maintenance.

The Dovo "Black" 233, made in both 5" and 5.5" models, adds a step up in sharpness vs the 'base' models shown above, using hollow-ground blades instead of corrugated ones, a reduced cutting angle on the blade edges, as well as a center screw which has adjustable tension.  It is the same shear as the #204 above, but adds the user-adjustable tension for the screw.

The body of the Dovo 'Black' is teflon-coated for a distinct feel and appearance.

This model will reach a more refined edge than the corrugated styles above, but (as with any knife) the edges also require a bit more maintenance.

It is nice (but not really required) to have an adjustment upon the tension of the center screw, of course.  In the case of this model, you can make an adjustment an the fly, without breaking out any tools.

By far our most popular series, the Dovo "Elitaire" comes in various lengths and styles and has a hollow ground cutting edge which has been honed and is razor sharp; instead of a straight line going up at a 35° angle from the point where the blade planes intersect, the Elitaire has an overall reduced angle that's flatter at the end and steeper towards the main body of the blade, just like on a straight razor.  You'll get exceptionally-controlled cutting precision that's more immediate than the corrugated or un-honed hollow ground edge.

Like any straight razor, the Elitaire will also eventually require maintenance more quickly than would the two less-refined corrugated or hollow ground (but not razor sharp) edge options above.  I've had great success fiddling with these scissors by intentionally dulling them and then resharpening with a small, long, and thin coticule.

The holes for your thumb and finger are lined with rubber.

The Elitaires also have Dovo's "Micro Motion" feature, which is a Teflon-coated and spring-loaded pressure plate to hold the center screw.  The Micro Motion gives the scissor's action a more responsive feeling, and it seems easier to start of finish action, so that you can expect to be able to control the very end of the cutting edge for trimming.

By far our most popular series, the Dovo "Elitaire" comes in 4 lengths and has a hollow ground cutting edge which has been honed and is razor sharp; instead of a straight line going up at a 35° angle from the point where the blade planes intersect, the Elitaire has an overall reduced angle that's flatter at the end and steeper towards the main body of the blade, just like on a straight razor.  You'll get exceptionally-controlled cutting precision that's more immediate than the corrugated or un-honed hollow ground edge.

The Dovo "Spectral Red" 245 5585 is part of Dovo's übershears, with razor sharp and hollow ground blade cutting edges along with a semi-convex profile for the blades planes...well, I suppose being somewhatconvex, they're technically no longer blade planes, of course.

This model's red-hued carbon-plasma coating gives an increased glide to the action-as great as the above Elitaire's movement is, this one is that notable bit smoother.  The carbon-plasma coating's also supposed to quickly separate skin from metal to practically eliminate any risk of an allergic reaction from a mishap.

It also has the famed Dovo "Micro Motion" Teflon-coated/spring-loaded pressure plate to hold the center screw, which gives a more responsive feel to the scissoring action and a certain ease to starting and finishing the scissor action.

The convex blade surfaces are what really sets the Spectral Red (and the fully-convexed Master Class below) apart from the rest of the Dovo line.  Convex blade faces allows precise 'slice cuts', where one points the scissor to the ground and opens the scissor but doesn't actually move the blades-instead relying upon the blades' exceptionally thin and sharp cutting edges to trim the hair which points to the ceiling.  Just a smooth thrust of throttle with your hand/arm from ceiling to floor at sharp, low angles to the hair allows thinning by carving.  It is a very modern technique, for a cutting edge scissor design.  You can also cut the upright hair from the top, to knock down some excess density and loosen up the hair.  I've never even seen someone do a 'slice cut', but then I can't exactly afford a studly $$$ haircut, either.  It sure sounds neat.

The Spectral Red 245 5585 is supplied with a bottle of lubricant, adjustment screw, and tin box.

This 245 5585 is essentially the same scissor as the 246 5585 unit below, but a classic shank design instead of the newer 246 5585's 'lowered' profile and slightly offset shank design.

The 237 555 "Senso Cut" model, exclusively a 5.5" length, has hollow ground and honed inner blade surfaces as well as razor sharp edges upon both the inner and outer blade surface.

"Senso Cut" in Dovo's terms meant the ergonomic design with rest for your index finger, rubber-lined finger holes, and 'lowered' shank profile.

The Dovo "Slide Cut excel" 2000 556 is one of their most sophisticated models, with a razor-sharp hollow ground and honed edge that gives exceptionally-controlled cutting precision that's more immediate than the corrugated or un-honed hollow ground edges (as well as a higher need for resharpening, too).  Try rubbing a wet coticule slurry stone right at the edges to keep them running at full throttle.

Slide Cut's finished in a satin motif, and has a center screw which can be adjusted with the hands-no tools required.

Entirely unique in the Dovo shears catalog, the #2000 556's unique hinge mechanism allows (as the name would imply) the easiest of slide cuts-the pivot point between the two scissor blades travels about a centimeter during the course of a normal cutting action, allowing "slide cuts", which are a sort of combination of the capacities of the conventional lines of shears and the semi-convex blades such as the "Master Class" shown directly above.  Without exclusively cutting via traditional scissoring effect, you can barely move your thumb as you slice through upturned hair.  Perhaps best of all, you'll have adjustable-tension "Micro Motion"; in fact this is the only "Micro-Motion" model with tool-free adjustable tension.

Slide Cut excel's only made in a 5.5" size.

The Dovo "Master Class" 244 6085 is part of Dovo's übershears, with razor sharp and hollow ground blade cutting edges along with a convex profile for the blades planes...well, I suppose being convex, they're technically no longer blade planes, of course.

This model's blue-hued carbon-plasma coating gives an increased glide to the action-as great as the above Elitaire's movement is, this one is that notable bit smoother.  The carbon-plasma coating's also supposed to quickly separate skin from metal to practically eliminate any risk of an allergic reaction from a mishap.

It also has the famed Dovo "Micro Motion" Teflon-coated/spring-loaded pressure plate to hold the center screw, which gives a more responsive feel to the scissoring action and a certain ease to starting and finishing the scissor action.

The fully convex blade surfaces are what really sets the Master Class apart from the rest of the Dovo line, allowing precise 'slice cuts', which is where one points the scissor to the ground and opens the scissor but doesn't actually move the blades-instead relying upon the blades' exceptionally thin and sharp cutting edges to trim the hair which points to the ceiling.  Just a smooth thrust of throttle with your hand/arm from ceiling to floor at sharp, low angles to the hair allows thinning by carving.  It is a very modern technique, for a cutting edge scissor design.  You can also cut the upright hair from the top, to knock down some excess density and loosen up the hair.  I've never even seen someone do a 'slice cut', but then I can't exactly afford a studly $$$ haircut, either.  It sure sounds neat.

The Centre Touch excels for its handle design.  I can't pretend to be so learned of using a professional stylist's shear to know, but I did parade this model to the stylists I know locally for their more meaningful input.  They seemed to repeatedly say that with the Centre Touch the hand feels at rest even when holding the scissor.  Dovo claims that the shortened, offset thumb shank design allows quick, compact movements that give wide latitude with the blades and excellent control, too-well, even playing with the thing in the office I can see that that's the case.

The Dovo 019 46701 is one of Dovo's oldest models, a European barber staple of thinning scissor finished in nickel.

Thinning scissors, in case you didn't know, reduce the density of hair, instead of just reducing their length.  They do, of course, cut hair - but they cut only where the 'teeth' meet the solid edge, so to the eye they just thin.  This model's got 46 teeth.

While I'll still admit to preferring a highly-aggressive needle-point style cuticle scissor for daring to trim the very, very front of the insides of my nostrils, 1) I have a tiny nose and am fighting for tenths of millimeters and 2) I use two hands to do it and still feel that quite uncomfortable poke in the sensitive parts more often than I would if a surgeon friend did it.  I'm sure my wife could do a better job if I could just bring myself to ask her of it...we're just not that close :-)

And as the smiling chap to the left with the attractive olfactory party favor emerging can certainly attest, a specific scissor for cutting your nose (and ear) hair makes a ton more sense.

The dainty Dovo #44 scissors (3.5" or 4" lengths, straight or bent blades) have compact, straight sides and flared, bulbous scissoring tips, and come in 5 models; standard matte-finish 3.5" straight-bladed #44356, polished #44355 version of the same thing, curved-bladed 3.5" #44359 (which has bent scissor blades so that when you're going straight up main street your hand's off to the side of your face a bit), 4" straight-bladed #44406, & 4" curved-bladed #44409.  No matter which you choose, when they close they give wonderful control of a tiny cutting edge area with minimal 'scissoring' pressure needed to cut those nose/ear hairs.  That flared design also 'buys you some space' in there from the actual point of scissoring cut, pushing sensitive tissue out of the way to make safe room for the cutting's occurrence.  That's just what you'd want.

• 3.5" or 4" Lengths
• Always stainless steel
• #44356 = straight, 3.5" long, satin finish
• #44355 = straight, 3.5" long, polished finish

The Dovo #44 358526 3.5" Embroidery Scissor

Worth a mention here that I find this the best CAREFUL nose scissor I've tried, for I always found the curved tips on the cuticle scissor that I used to prefer not helpful in this sideline work.  I get up close and personal in front of the wife's specialty parabola makeup mirror, use the "off" hand to 1) help brace the scissor tips, 2) brace the dominant hand's wrist, and 3) open the nostrils to the max, and then point straight at the troublemakers.  You're not going to come close to that kind of grooming perfection with the much safer rounded nose-born scissors by virtue of their design (which essentially makes it very hard to accidentally lacerate yourself), but if you want the tightrope here it is; official advice here is always to use tools as their makers intended.

The Dovo 46400 (straight tips, above left) & 46409 (curved tips, above right) scissors shown above give you 0.5" additional working space from under your nose vs the 3.5" models...unlike any of the #44s shown above, however, these #46s have a nickel finish rather than stainless steel, and thus cannot withstand autoclave sterilization and are not for professional use.

• Nickel finish (lightly oil after use to prevent rust)
• 4" (100mm) Length
• No Finger Rest
• Fixed center screw
• Body's profile designed to easily fit in nostrils

The Dovo 464016 (straight tips) gives you a bit of extra space, along with smaller rings, flat shanks, and the stainless steel finish for professional use.

Dovo 43454 (Oxidized Steel)
The 43454 is also a precision 4.5" scissor for grooming beards and mustaches, but made of oxidized steel.  Not for steaming in an autoclave, but highly resistant to rust, and it has a distinct look and rubber-grippy feel in the finger holes.  Spiffy.

By any measure of application, essentially you use the very last centimeter or so of scissoring motion to make the cuts.  This is where these kinds of scissor really shine.

• Oxidized steel
• 4.5" (114mm) Length
• No Finger Rest
• Fixed center screw
• Corrugated edges
• Supplied w/ plastic sheath

Dovo 43456 (Stainless Steel)
The 43456 is also a precision 4.5" scissor for grooming beards and mustaches, but made of stainless steel, and thus can also be used by professional stylists (the above #43450 is only intended for personal use) as it will withstand autoclave sterilization.

By any measure of application, essentially you use the very last centimeter or so of scissoring motion to make the cuts.  This is where these kinds of scissor really shine.
