How did your son abuse the Dovo?...My son tortured his Dovo olive wood. I was able to straighten the scales and get them reasonably nice with mineral oil, but the original finish is altered...
How did your son abuse the Dovo?
I've olive-wood scales and I simply wipe them dry after use.
Mineral oil could possibly raise the grain and fracture any lacquer or other applied finish if there is one.
How did mineral oil specifically affect the wood?
I ask because I've considered using mineral oil for long-term care on my olive-wood scales.
I have two. a 5/8 and a 6/8. There is quite a difference in size and weight between the two, Both provide excellent shaves, but I prefer the 6/8.
I think that Ralf Aust and Wacker are two of the best German brands that are currently in production. Huge fan of both!
