Ok, I did it! I just bought the Dovo Best Quality.
You made a good choice. I bought a Dovo "best quality" 6/8 for $85. At the same time I bought a Dovo red "Bismark" for $140. While the Bismark looks very pleasing, it offers exactly the same shave as the "best quality." I don't regret buying it however. I think my best shaving razor is a $15 Gano my dad bought for me at a local antique store. As was said in an earlier post, there's plenty of time to collect a whole slew of different razors.
Happy shaving.
Congrats on your purchase! :beer1:
+1 for investing in a better strop!
I'd recommend a 3" strop, as it leaves less room for beginner error or a nicked strop as you can aviod the "x" pattern somewhat. Something with a canvas back and a leather front would be great!
