Collection.
250 Years of the American Experiment — in Steel.
251 years of American history. 262 razors — because the 27 Constitutional Amendments each earn their own blade. Every razor is struck with the year it represents. Each shave, a daily act of stewardship over a singular moment in the American story.

The Collection
Every year of the
Every year of the
American story.
In your hand.
In the year 1776, a bold idea was set to paper — that a free people might govern themselves, and that liberty, once claimed, must be carefully kept. Two hundred and fifty years later, that spirit endures not only in the halls of history, but in the daily rituals of men who value craft, character, and continuity.
To honour the 250th Anniversary of the American Experiment, DOVO presents the Declaration of Independence Collection. 251 years span 1776 to 2026 — but the collection comprises 262 razors, because each of the 27 Constitutional Amendments earns its own blade: a 24K gold-plated edition marking the year America chose to refine itself.
When you hold your razor, you hold the weight of a specific era. Perhaps your blade bears the mark of 1803, the year a young nation doubled its horizon with the Louisiana Purchase. Or 1969, when the dust of the moon first felt a human boot.
Owning this razor is an act of stewardship. Steel tempered with memory.

The Two Editions
History has already decided which razor belongs to your year. All that remains is whether you claim it.
235 years receive the flag edition — one razor each. Amendment years receive no flag razor at all: only gold, one per amendment. A year with two amendments ratified carries two gold razors and no flag razor.

The Flag
8/8″ Carbon Steel · Printed American Flag · Non-Amendment Years Only

On the back: the year, serial number, the president of that year, and the defining events that shaped its course — all hand-engraved in Solingen. Amendment years carry no flag razor.
