Hen & Rooster or Dovo Special?
The title says it all. I was wondering which, if any, was the better. I know they both have good reputations. They can be had for about the same price.
I don't yet have a straight, at least one that is ready to be used. I have a couple of eBay specials that need some TLC and a honing, but I don't have the time (or all of the tools other than a Dremel) right now to restore them. So now I'm pondering trying a new razor at first rather than the other way around.

Don't want to sound stupid but where are you buying a Hen and Rooster or a Dovo Special for the same price?

A 5/8 Hen & Rooster should retail for around $55-65 and can be found on ebay new. Classic Shaving has Dovo Specials with white or black handles for the same price.
Other than the delicate inlay on the H&R scales both would be equivalent quality Razors (and likely made in the same place).
