So I as I've said before, I'm fairly new to this. I've decided to go with Dovo as my first true straight razor. I read a post in the razor review section about the 5/8" 'Dovo-Special' Tortoise Shell and it seems like a good choice for me. That said, I like the looks of the 5/8" Perlex more. Can anyone tell me if theres a major difference in the two, other than some extra gold wash on the blade and different patterns on the scales? It would be extremely helpful if anyone has experience with it and a review they could pass along as well.
