    Default looking for a "new" straight

    So I'm really itching for a "new" straight razor. I have the following already: Fili DT JMP 8/8, 7/8 friodur 472 1/2, Fili EPBD 6/8, W&B Celebrated FBU 9/8, Fili Sub Cero 6/8, and a few others
    So I was thinking about a TI 7/8, SRD has one in stock with red wood scales. I also really like the dovo Bismarck in the pearlex white scales. Is there any other options I should consider or would the TI make a nice addition? I know it's all opinion, and I have nice ones already, but a new one has me itching lol.

    I pulled the trigger on the 7/8 dreadnought in buckeye burl scales. I wanted to wait until it showed up to respond but I think it's a few days away and I can't hold it in. I also ordered a 28mm high mountain white knot that I'm going to put into buckeye burl as well. I can't wait! Pics asap...

    Good choices above! But for the money a Ralf Aust or two would be my choice.

    I just don't feel compelled towards the Ralf Aust razors. I've heard they are really great, but I just didn't feel drawn to it like I was the dreadnought. Honestly I've really wanted the dovo Bismark in pearl scales. I am still very young, and very much addicted so there's always next year for an Aust! I'm hoping it arrives this week, and I'll be sure to post some nice pics!

    Both Puma and Boker still make straights.
