What Dovo models still have stamped name on shank?

[lengtche]

What Dovo models being produced today still have Dovo Soligen stamped on the shank?

I'm browsing around several shaving sites to see most Dovo models simply print the log on the shank.

Thank you.

I think you may be better off with a Boeker these days.

Care to elaborate on that? What's wrong with Dovo?

Nothing wrong with Dovo per se. The OP inquired as to a modern production Solingen razor with the name stamped on the shank. Off the top of my head, I don't know of any Dovos that answer to this, but the Boekers do. Visit TSS for detailed photos.

I think they stopped stamping in the late 80's - early 90's and switched to laser etching.

That's too bad. I find the stamped etching really add to the razor.

And I do have a 6/8 Boker with faux tortoise scales. Love it!

Stamping causes occasional physical problems(though it looks cool). Dovo's been done with producing it a long while now.

Laser etching is not "printing" on, in fact there is no ink at all, it is very permanent, though never as dramatic as a stamped tang.

@kwigibocity:

Could you please expand on some of the physical problems that can arise?

You've peaked my interest!
