    jesitz76,

    Ah decision, decisions

    I too have both, and they are both excellent shavers.

    I use the Dovo Micarta stainless for mostly travel use when I am on business, due to ease of maintenance.

    I tend to use the Berg Lowe as one of my 'weekend' razors.

    I think if you are after an 'everyday' shaver go for the Micarta; if you after something a bit more special go for the Berg Lowe.

    Or get both; RAD resistance is futile

    Have fun !

    Best regards

    Russ

    If you have the cash buy both as no doubt that the nagging voice saying I wonder if that other one would have been better will bug you if you do not!

    RAD has already got most of us on here and there is no return once passed the threshold!

    I'd definitely go with the BL... a true work of art. Micartas are a bit more... tacky? They're not the same blades as the nicer #41... but will usually keep their edge longer. I even feel like my 41 gives more of an unforgiving shave than any of my carbon blades.

    I was in a similar situation as I was trying to figure which good Dovo to buy and suddenly the reinassance came to my attention. It's a 6/8 stainless steel with very fancy scales. Any of you guys have any experience with this razor??? (it's even cheaper than the other two). I'm planning to save some money for the next couple of months to get either this or the Berg Lowe.... but I just can't decide

    Thanks!!!

    I myself have the Dovo Ivory Micarta and I love it. It's been awhile since I've used it because it's more like my travel razor. It's a great shaver for sure. A true Gem! I find the other one tacky. But that's me.
