    I'll second the razors from Martin. I'm not sure which one you were referring to but I purchased on of the Solingens, the RP5N. It's a plain looking razor but it's an excellent shaver.

    I do love the look of the Bismark for sure. I guess it depends on how much money I have next week. The Tortoise is looking more and more appealing, and as an added bonus my Fiance likes it.

    Well, your the one who's going to be using it so get the one that you like the best. Within the same price range they should all be of equal quality.

    Buying a razor from SRD is a no brainer and you will never be sorry you did. Besides you will get a razor honed by Lynn!

    As for which one, they are all good Dovos and will perform about the same. Go with what you like best.

    I really like tortoise faux ir not. Be aware that the gold wash on the spine and tang will probably wear away over time if you use the razor in on a regular basis. Check out the DD Goldedges and others on EBay and see what time has done to those. The gold wash does look really sharp while it is on though.

    Good luck. Let us know what you pick!

    Thanks for the input guys. I guess it will depend on how I am feeling on the day I order, whether I get the Bismark or the Tortoise. I'm leaning tortoise though.
