SRD (Lynn Abrams proprietor & Honer) has a Dovo BQ for $102, which includes an initial honing, and a complimentary re-honing, which you will need sooner or later. The value of $15-25/each for a honing anywhere else figured in means it's the equivalent (or less) than your price for the Dovo elsewhere. Save yourself time and headaches by going to SRD and buying a Dovo, or a Ralf Aust or Boker for about the same price. All are 1st quality razors, which GD are not!
