Dovo used to have QA problems until approx. 3 years ago, and it may well be that overseas vendors still have old stock. But I would definitly not definitly steer Joe towards a vintage blade. It is a viable alternative, but only if it is below USD 80 in mint condition and shave ready. Because that is what you get from SRD, for starters.
