I decided on that option based on the comments that any smaller size might be difficult to hone and stop.

It was also 45 dollars cheaper than the 5/8 BISMARCK.

If things go well I will upgrade to a 5/8 BISMARCK or Dovo SPECIAL 5/8
Glad you were able to make a choice, and that the info you got here helped. BTW, welcome to SRP! Be aware that depending on where you purchased your Dovo from it may still need to be honed properly before you can shave with it. Many a new straight user has picked up a "factory honed" Dovo and had a bad experience because they thought that meant it was ready to go.

Let us know how things go for you, and feel free to ask any questions you might have.

Peace,
