That Dovo Carre is also a stainless steel razor. Can be hard to get it to pop sharp, but once it's there, the strop keeps it sweet for ages, one of my sharpest blades, can nick you if you aren't careful, very acute edge.

I love my shoulder less blades, this Solingen Graham 7/8 is one of them

I like minimalist shoulders on razors, but I do not like thumb notches. I have a Dovo Bismark and Jerry Stark custom with notches; I find them harder to flip when honing and stropping.
I have a couple of razors with standard tangs, but only a slight shoulder where the tang and spine meet. I really like those razors.
Any shoulder less razor, I am particularly a fan of Japanese made ones.
I've always liked the old Dovo Encina, Masters etc when they made them with a shoulderless grind. Sad to see them go
There have been a couple of incarnations of the Dovo 6/8 with Grenadille scales, the first was a Carre with a stainless blade, the second was the 'masters' in carbon steel, and the other is the 'Flowing'. There may have been more varieties, but I've only owned a stainless model.
Indeed, but they are changing all of them slightly from year to year: my Carre for example is a carbon steel one. Master's they've changed from stainless shoulderless into double-shouldered carbon etc.
Here are my two most used shoulderless razors:
Le Grelot (it's been cleaned since the picture):

Two very pleasant blades, although very differents on the skin.
I like the looks of mk33's but from my personal collection it has to be this onehttps://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/201...e73e1e60b1.jpg
