Choosing first NEW razor, assistance required!
Having decided upon a new tool for the first shave I am now bedevilled with selection anxiety syndrome. I have a shortlist of what I understand to be good entry level razors, what would the experts choose?
all in a 5/8 and prices are approximate.
Thiers Issard basic black - £90
Dovo Best Quality - £75
Revisor 5-0000, Starter set with basic strop and razor oil - £90 (seems best deal just for strop, however I am thinking I'd prefer a paddle)
I have read numerous criticisms and counter-criticisms about each, what can I reasonably expect in terms of quality of build, shave readiness etc?

Revisor is a nice choice. I really like their product and the variety they offer. The stampings, enameling and scale choices are the best out there among the modern makers. I own quite a few razors and of the 3 I use the most on a daily basis, two are Revisor's.
Some have commented on how shave ready they are but I have found that with stropping they have a great comfortable edge and have never felt I had to improve on the ones I received.
The owners are great to deal with and stand behind their wares
