Love the Bismarck Ges Geschutzt... shaved with it this morning after a few licks on CrOx strop and a few dozen more on leather. I wander between narrow and broad blades but whenever I reach for the Bismarck I always think it's my favorite. It's light in the hand, sharpens easily and the draw is very smooth, never harsh, after stropping. Although I am a fan of three-pin razors it's solid enough to claim quality stability. It shaves like one of those invisible blades. An ebay find, the price was fair for a premium boxed razor in like-new condition. Nothing not to like.

Very nice! Are you getting a new Dovo one or a vintage?
I picked up another 5/8 vintage one last week. I still have to photograph it. It took a little bread-knifing to get it near correct. It has a fair bit of toe wear.

Very nice!!!
I like my Dovo, Your going to need to use a layer of tape when you hone it, And depending on how soft your strop is you might want to use a layer of tape to protect the strop from the filed spine.
This is the new vintage.

Thanked: 21I have a 3" red latigo (a lot of draw) and a SRD Premium I (on its way) ! Should I tape the spine ? I definitely don't want to mark it up ! Should I use electrical tape or that lite tan painters tape ?
