So I picked up a Dovo shavette after reading though this forum a lot and figured it would be good for my learning since the learning curve is steeper and the razor is a suggested addition whilst travelling.
I already have a slight case of RAD and figure 3 straights will do me well - Hart Steel "Not A Replica", Thiers Issard "Sparticus (dreadnought blade)", and Dovo "flutter". All are 6/8 but have 1/4, 1/2, & full hollow respectively. I have no clue how well they will agree with me but I think they look absolutely badass and they seem to have strong reviews from the forum. Time to start saving my pennies!
