Welcome, dmint. Indeed, that Case seems to be the best one. Those are Dovo-made from 1990+/-.
FME, they were ground a bit more carefully whilst being made for Case when Parker owned the name.
Everyone seems to say they are fine. Enjoy!

I knew I felt somebody looking over my shoulder :<0)
Welcome, it sounds like your doing well and ready to jump into the real trouble. You'll find it easy enough. It's fun though and better than watching the weeds grow.

Don't worry guys, you won't find me sitting on the side of the street with a cardboard sign saying "Will Hone for Food" I've already decided to keep my stock of razors limited to about 20. 2-7 day sets and a few customs. Maybe more if I win the lotto

Yea, that Case & sons has the most interesting story, being my first razor. My father and I took a road trip on his Harley, a '93 Softail Classic, when I was 10 or so to the Zippo/Case visitor's center for their "Zippo Days". I was always pretty obsessed w/ knives and Zippos (from Die Hard, of course.) There was an old collector there selling off some wares. I saw the Case blade and just had to have it! My dad made me promise that I would shave with it when I'm old enough. I told him "Of course! That'd be the coolest way to shave!" The guy liked my gumption, so he sold it to us for something like 10-15 bucks, because "No one shaves like that anymore". Lo' and behold, 12 years later I had a job interview the next day and no money for my Mach3 replacements. I remembered I had it stuffed away in a box full of all of random stuff from my childhood. Ran to Walgreens, picked up some VdH soap and a brush. Researched how to shave, wound up on here, learned what I could and shaved the next morning. And it went great! Pretty sure I bungled the interview, but my face was good!

Welcome to SRP!
Great looking straight razors you got!
Enjoy!!!

Welcome and great story about the road trip with your Dad on his Harley. My Dad loved my Harley but HATED my straight razors.
