    Buy a $100 Dovo and use it for 6 mos.Than you will know the answere.
    Am I to assume that after six months with a Dovo, I'd be disappointed? Bummer...I was just starting to think it was time to buy a brand new razor for a change.

    All things straight razor are subjective to a great extent. i have several Dovo models and I am crazy about them. Take a look at the different Dovo models available just on Straight Razor Designs and keep track of what interests you and call Don
    at SRD and he will lend you some guidance. Enjoy.

    When you get around the $200+ mark you are paying for fancy scales, decorated blade, perhaps a different steel and probably brand recognition. Assuming good steel was used, the $19 razor will do the exact same thing as the $300 razor - shave whiskers.

    Not in the least,but for the OP just starting out,chances are he may quit using a straight razor,perhaps long before 6 mos.
    very few newbs stick out the learning process.

    That could hardly be considered Dovo's fault. Countless newbs started with Dovo with great success and continue to use them.

    Am not faulting Dovo Ryan,for a newb spend a hun for starters,learn, than move along.You do not buy a person that is just learning to drive a ZO1 corvette.

    I have to agree,at some point your paying for window dressing.I have a Jenco,Imperial and a new Dovo BQ.The first two I got for free,the Dovo cost me $85.They all shave great the only real edge the Dovo has over the others is its shiny unstained new steel.But that does not stop me wanting the Dovo Flowing with its fancy spine work and African blackwood scales for $250.!

    Would I spend $300 for a razor? But would I spend $25 each on 12 razors? Which would end up the better deal?
    Guess its all in what you want out of life.

    This is a topic more bent on "to each their own." I own a Hart. Absolutely good razor. I wanted something that would last and was American made. I believe in supporting our businesses. I will say I love the shave it gives and that it will always be my main razor as it was my first.

    I will also say I am currently focused though on getting my Dubl Duck ready because I want to see how it performs.
