Thanked: 7I haven't owned the Dovo, but I've heard from everyone that the quality vs. cost difference, the Ralf Aust is a better razor - that's the one I have and it's been great. As for cream, I've got Musgo Real, and some Art of Shaving Sandalwood. I also picked up the Bigelow Proraso from Bath and Body Works as well. Otherwise, have a puck of Col Conk Bay Rum, and I really like that one too.

Go with the RA, I heard that is a much better quality razor so there you go. If I were you, I would go with the Ralph Aust. Much better quality for your money!

Thanked: 1OK sounds good, thanks guys! For the strop does the color matter? and what about the back strop? Razor oil and sack? Ordering from srd, how long is the shipping?

Color? Not really, whatever you prefer. I like the reddish color
Back strop? One like another unless you're going with linen (and even that's kind of a hard-core case sort of preference..I use either coarse weave or fine weave canvas fabric and really cannot tell any difference)
Razor oil? A can of Ballistol will do you as well or better plus, you can use it for lots of other stuff. Actually any light grade gun oil or 3 in 1 will work as well
Razor sack? Yeah, they are handy and pretty much negate the need for oil (but it's good to have some Ballistol around anyway for other tasks)
Shipping? As fast as anyone out there
