    Hello and congrats on your journey. Sounds like a nice collection of razors you have going. Glad you joined up and are a part of the forum.
    Nothing is fool proof, to a sufficiently talented fool...

    Do you ever go looking for vintage razors and hones in Korea?
    Nothing to be found here, but I have not looked very hard.

    Hi Keith, welcome.
    I only know two brands, the Dovo of couse but also the Koraat : in Korea with a Koraat ! Very nice blades from Austria !
    Did you purchased a catalog model or did you let it be a personnal unique model with their configurator?

    Welcome abord Keith! Being in that region of the world, perhaps you may stumble across one of the N. Korean made razors, such as this one.

    They aren't very accurately ground (at all!), but the steel is pretty nice and they take a good, lasting edge.

    As the time passes, so we learn.

    I used the configurator, what a fun tool and Ulrich was a pleasure to work with. I just put in another order.

    I have not seen one in person. If the opportunity to acquire one comes up I will definitely go for it.
