Thread: 50 shaves and my opinions on 4 razor brands.

Hi All,
i just wanted to give you a relatively new shavers opinion of the various razors I have.
The Dovo masters shaves well but doesn't set my world alight, it seems to be a bit tricky to control and doesn't inspire confidence, it feels a bit 'springy' on the whiskers and even on a second pass just feels ordinary.
The Theirs-Issard Sparticus is marginally better, and doesn't have the springy juddery feel of the Dovo when going over a two day growth of whiskers.
My Ralf Aust is another step up in a quality feel to the shave, it has a feel that does make me feel more comfortable and more confident, whilst providing an excellent result after the second pass.
Finally, my Mastro Livi Grifetto, is in a class of its own. It has a good weight to it and inspires confidence with its grind and general feel. There is no suggestion of it wanting to jump on tough whiskers, and just glides across my face with good feedback and the edge really is very sharp and firm.
After two passes it shaves as close as the others after three, and going round tricky parts on the chin is a breeze.
I struggle to get the quality after 3 passes with the Dovo that I can get with the Grifetto after 2.
These are just my thoughts and experiences and I would much rather have 2 Grifetto's than any 5 other razors that I've tried so far. The reason I say that is because the ML's are a bit pricey but you get what you pay for in this world.
I wonder has anyone else got opinions of their regular razors and which do you prefer out of your collections, not so much from the aesthetic point, but from the pure joy of using it to give the best results.
I know I am very inexperienced when compared to the long time SR users but I am definitely feeling a difference between the Brand’s.
