    Default My second SR

    Hello everybody;

    So here I have completed my 5th month shaving with my Dovo Best Quality SR.

    As a celebration I want to get a second one. My choices are: TI Le Dandy, Dovo Carre, Boker Silver Steel or The Dovo Bismark.

    Which one would you recommend?

    I appreciate your input, Thanks

    You seem to be headed down the same street. All your choices are new blades which I can understand. Maybe someday you will be ready for a little variety like maybe a vintage Sheffield ?

    TI or Boker. I like them both. Or as mentioned you could head down the vintage path. Check out Friodurs.

    About the vintage razors, I feel I don't have enough knowledge to make a good choice so for my second razor I razer stick to new ones.

    I appreciate all your comments

    I think that is a smart decision.

    You may want to look at the new production Revisors. They have a HUGE selection and come truly shave ready. The owner is a member here and very nice to deal with. Shipping only takes 1-2 weeks straight from Germany. If you do look at them remember that the price they quote on their website includes a tax that you do NOT pay so it is less expensive than what it's listed at. Extra bonus.

    I like the advice from JTmke: Try a vintage Fridour Henckels Inox S.R. Excellent steel and shaving machines when honed with a "Real Shave Ready Edge"

    With 5 months in you really don't know enough about the razor you currently own.

    The next razor you purchase will shave differently.
    Now you're going to possibly start screwing up your results and learning curve.

    Thus happens when you buy anything new when you straight shave, soap, brushes, razors, strops, etc......!
    My suggestion is don't be in a rush. The next razor you buy you may not even like the way it shaves, but it might look purdy sitting there.

    If your heart is set on a new razor. Don't leave the offerings from Ralph Aust off your list. They offer beautiful razor and scale combinations.

    I really like to have in hand the razor before I buy it and the above mentioned are the razors that I can see on a fiscal shop.

    With more experience I ll venture to get a razor on the net.

    That is why I was asking and those 4 razors.
