Dear straight shavers,

As I want to start shaving with a straight razor I have checked a checked the range of different razors that are avalable. There is especially two razors that caught my eye but I don't know which of them to choose. So I wondered if you more experienced could help me.

The first one is a 6/8" Thiers razorwith a plastic handle
The English Shaving Company - Edwin Jagger shaving accessories, shaving creams and aftershaves

The second is a 5/8" Dovo Razor with a genuine Ebony handle
The English Shaving Company - Edwin Jagger shaving accessories, shaving creams and aftershaves

As I know both are of very good quality but which one is really "better"? is the size of any differencer? the manufacturer? the plastic vs. the ebony handle? any other tips that can be useful?

I hope you and your experience can help me out here
