Yeah, I finally decided to order the Dovo Inox from them. Ultimately, I really liked the wood scales and most of the other sites were out of theirs.

But thank you guys for all of your input; it was definitely helpful in making my decision.
Now I just have to figure out which shaving soap/cream and aftershave to buy lol...

Well, here's a link to get you started (if you haven't already checked it out): Soaps & Creams

I know you already purchased a razor. Just curious as to why you did not consider a disposable blade straight razor either from Dovo or Feather.

Honestly, I never really gave much thought to purchasing a disposable razor. In general, I am the kind of guy to go 'all in' for things that I am interested in. My personal philosophy is if you are going to do something, then try to acquire the best possible gear at the start (within reason of course); otherwise you will just end up having to replace your original gear and spending the money anyway. I am in no way saying that disposable razors are bad. I haven't done my research on them and thus couldn't say. It's more of a personal preference thing though.
