    I'm bouncing between two makes at the moment, Ducks and W&B's. Some of the heavy duty blades apeal to me as I like heavy kitchen knives as well (cleavers). It will be interesting to see where this all goes

    Out of 5 my favourite is the Dovo 5/8 Bismarck. My first and, as yet, unsurpassed. Not even my TI beats it for weight, feel, and shave. The Dovo seems to have everything right in terms of balance, weight, and design.

    I was looking at the Dovo Bismark, either 5/8 or 6/8. It just looks like a nice razor. The blade I have now came with a Col. Conk starter set that had the razor, strop and stone.

    Easy-peasy: my favorite razor is my Robert Williams custom

    Why? - because it's edge is velvet (broke my rating system), balance is great, and I participated in the design. It is also very nice to know that Robert hand-hammered it (vs. ground it from a blank). It was made for me - I can't say this of any other razor

    Cheers

    Yep! At present, it's my "nothing special" Dovo 5/8 -- it's the sharpest and easiest to handle.

    Although, the edge starting to get a little tired from daily use. Hopefully, my Lynn-honed Wapi gets here soon!

    So far my 7/8 Silversteel TI has beat the crap out of anything else. The only thing that comes close is a 6/8 Silversteel worldmaster or the Macero that I traded for a strop with Bobbo (I got the strop he got the razor).
