Hello, my name is Robert. I had began shaving at an early age of 9 with the help of my father and his double edge razor for a couple of years and then went on to various cartridge systems for till about 4 years ago when I had started back up with a Merkur Classic Gold Hefty which I had purchased through Classic Shaving. I have seriously looking into moving up to Straight Razor shaving and I am pretty set on the Dovo brand of razor because of their reputation but there is still a couple of things I am curious about. Is there different tiers of quality steel blade, example, best quality, prima, ect? I am also considering on using an extra hollow, to be more precise, the one made of the mammoth tusk, would that a little on the extreme side or should I be ok with using this? If not, what would be some recommendations. I am really looking to purchase one razor and making it my permanent razor, so I am wanting quality and not wanting to have to upgrade in the future. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? Any and all replies are welcome and respected, Thank you.
