    Welcome to SRP.

    Carbon Steel is the way to go. 5/8th's is probably the most popular size. 6/8ths will catch more soap or cream as you shave, but not that much, That's the size I like. Check out Vintage bladesllc.com or classic shaving .com You can select to have the razor professionally honed before it's shipped. The classified are also an excellent source for razor if you can actually find one. They sell as fast as their put up. There was one Dovo on there the last time I looked. For your first razor, your probably better off getting it at one of the sites recommended here.

    I can vouch for Dovo myself. Great razor and not a bad price either. I agree on buying the first from Straight Razor Designs. The price you pay there including honing is better than the other online retailers as far as I've seen. If you want vintage look no further than the classifieds section here. Good luck! Jeremy-

    My second razor was a DOVO. It's still a great shaver.
