While I have been getting ready to start SR saving and starting to get the stuff to strop my soon to come razor, I got a call from my Son. He works in a crew that travels all over the country remodeling stores. His Girl friend left him about a year ago and he got rid of his house. He ran out of double side razor blades so he started saving with a SHAVETTE That his girl friend used for hair cuts. He was asking me if I happen to have any of Grandy's (his great grandfather) razors left. (I don't).

This gave me an Idea for his birthday next April. I could have a custom razor built for him. By that time he will have had his first razor and will know how to take care of it, so It could be a perfect gift. In going thru all the wonderful resources here, I have seen the silver scales that are done by one of the members here. I was thinking that rather then search for a fine old German blade to take apart, I could just send a new Dovo to have rescaled. My question is this... Is there any difference in the BLADES on the Dovos? (Assuming the same size and grind) Basicly I asking if he will get the same quality if I buy a $80 razor as if I bought the $200 one? I'm going to throw the scales away anyway, so if there is different quality blades, what level do the better ones start?

Thanks again
