Meet the South Korean brand taking on the Georgian shaving market – Dorco – that promises “great comfort” and the “smoothest results” to its customers.

Q. Dorco has won the Golden Brand award in the category ‘innovative technologies’. Please tell us what makes the brand innovative.

A.  Dorco’s shaving products are highly innovative, and this can be attributed to several factors.

Dorco razors are renowned for being made of pure steel, which sets them apart from other razors. The company has invested heavily in technology, research, and development, which has paid off and laid the foundation for a wide range of shavers. Dorco’s innovations include a flexible cartridge, micro blades, and the world’s first six- and seven-blade razors.

Unlike welded blades, Dorco’s blades are bent, allowing accurate shaving with precision blades. What’s more, this construction allows for an open-flow blade cartridge, making the razor easier to rinse.

Additionally, if you want to try different blades in our range, you can change your refill cartridges whenever you want. Our common docking system means any of our blade cartridges will fit your razor handle.

The Dorco brand has earned customer approval from the start due to innovative, quality products and excellent communication.
