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.

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.!
