..or those who don't.

I'm torn between the DOVO ebony spike point 5/8 made of carbon steel, and the 5/8 ebony round point made of stainless steel.



Can I have your opinions on each/either you may have experience with? I know that either way I'll end up with a great shaver, but would like to know, especially with the steeper learning curve of the spike point, which you'd recommend to a new straight shaver.

I have DE experience with a Gillette Fatboy.

Any other suggestions for new razors around <$140?

I was in an antique shop and saw some potentials, but my wife didn't seem to keen on me using someone else's razor (yet ).

I'm also looking for a strop. I have a brush (on the way) and some soap, so these two items, razor and strop, should complete my collection... for now.


Thanks for any help you can provide gents.
