    Check out SRD way better option than Amazon. You can also visit a local shaving supply store if you live close to Englewood.
    PM if you want the address.

    Not even going to read everyone elses post but will say I would start with a Ralf Aust with acrylic scales < the base model in 5/8 if you like and is an exceptional shaver and best money spent and worth twice the price! If you are dead set on the three you listed I would go Boker personally.

    I just got the Aust 5/8 round point in acrylic scales a couple of weeks back. You are spot on, a great razor for $100 and it comes shave ready from SRD

    I would choose the Aust or check the classifieds here, there should be a few choices in your price range.

    The A.P. Donovan looks a lot like a Titan razor, so I would definitely avoid that one. Haven't heard one bad thing about the Ralf Aust, that is what I would go for if I was in the market for a new razor.
