Welcome mschenoweth!

A lot of guys have recommended ralf aust and I would definitely say they are great razors I managed to sneak in quick and buy one of the rosewood 6/8th when SRD got a shipment. If you can (I sure couldn't ) wait i would definitely recommend trying to find a Ralf Aust for a first razor! Keep looking around and you can find something you really want somewhere and won't have to settle!

The shavingshop.com has some ralph's in stock, albeit in plastic scales but they also have some other very reputable razors on there that look great and have nice wood scales.

If you are set on a Dovo, however, take a look at the superior shave Dovo page (Link) Jarrod is very knowledgeable and will answer any and all questions you have for him about a blade. I just made a couple purchases from him not too long ago and couldn't be happier. Almost all of his Dovo's are in stock right now and if you could probably find one that suits your taste. The palisander and silver steel are two great looking razors as well as the bismark. Just depends on your price range really and a little different shave with the shoulder-less bismark.

Good luck picking a razor and enjoy the journey!
