Hello All.

I think it's time for me to get a 2nd blade. I like my Craftsman and I think it does a decent job. I'd also like to avoid dropping too much $$$ right now - I'll wait until I get my 3rd to spend the big bucks. I want a blade that's known as an EXCELLENT shaver. I need to work on my technique and I'd like to start with a blade that has worked well for most people.

I've looked at the Dovo "Best Quality" blades - some are as low as $70. I can have one of our awesome hone/retore-meisters put a heavier set of scales on one of those. I've read decent reviews on those.

What about going a little further into the budget and grabbing one of the soon-to-be-gone Le Grelots? Dorkos are also often referred to as awesome shavers.

I believe that a full hollow is the best option for me now - thoughts? What about a 6/8 over a 5/8? How about trying to learn with a round point?

You guys are awesome...thanks!!
