If it's your first, don't go with the 7-0001 by Revisor. I have that one and I can tell you that the spike in it is deadly. Other than that note of precaution, I can recommend Revisor. I have three and they are all outstanding razors. Honing them is where you can see their quality. They all take exceptionally polished and smooth shaving edges. But I can't compare the two brands as I don't have an RA. Someday I'll have to get one to compare them.
