Over a month ago purchased Gold Dollar straight razor, without doing much research. Shaved just a few times, like the whole idea of straight razor shaving, but the razor I bought simply doesn't cut it. Price says it all.
This past weekend gave some thought into purchasing a real good quality razor, considering it's a one time investment. Based on the brands I researched I found the following to be most popular (correct me if I am wrong)
1. DOVO (really like the Bismark model)
2. Thiers Issard (so many many models to choose from, don't even know where to start)
3. Wacker

Which brand is the most reputable ?
Price wise I don't mind spending, as long as it's worth it. Blade size preference: 6/8" or 7/8"
