Fritz Bracht imported his blanks from Sweeden . They were drop forged , heat treated and tempered in Dovo's facility in Solingen. Most of his products whether sold under his brand or others such as DD were superior in quality. That was evident in his days as it is still evident to most straight razor afficionados nowadays.
It is not wise to compare Dovo razors manufactured by Fritz Bracht to their modern products.
Whatever you decide to be the best razor is a matter of personal preference. And most seasoned straight shavers do not base their preference purely on brand but also on type of steel ,width of blade width and grind.
When it comes to pricing condition is the major determining factor for all out of prduction collictables and DD's are no exception. It is not too difficult to grab a GE in fair condition for well under $50. For a mint WE you may have to go ten times that , and this is not uncommon with most other well known brands.
