I'm planning on replacing my pakistani el-cheapo with something much better, and I'm torn b/w 2 razors:
1) Dovo All Stainless Steel 5/8 with satin handle finish
2) Thiers-Issard Sheffield Silver Steel, Tortoise, 5/8
My main concern with the DOVO is that it's made of stainless, which would be difficult to hone with my soft-cutting Japs, but on a good note it would hold its edge longer.
I like the DOVO b/c of the styling, but from what I heard, TI razors offer a better shave.
Therefore, I'm turning to you guys to help me with my dilemma.
