[QUOTE=sheajohnw;1098076][COLOR="#0000CD"][U]There are many possible bad choices, but no single right choice The DOVO 6/8 half hollow is a good razor and should give close and comfortable shaves in the hands of an experienced straight razor user when properly honed and maintained. Whether it would be your most preferred razor after having had an opportunity to try many straight razors is a different question which cannot be answered except through experience. Assuming good razor geometry and metallurgy, edge sharpness, beard prep., and shaving technique are the most relevant factors affecting a close comfortable shave.

Sounds a little Matrix esq LOL
