C-Mon Cadillac Straight Razor
That one absolutely nothing, looks like a re-branded Dovo
The original ones are highly desirable, in fact one of the last Vintage razors that I am personally still hunting...:D
Hey guys. I just received one of these but my honing skills aren't the best quite yet so I can't really vouch for its quality, but a few things I have noticed when comparing it side by side to my Dovo "Best Quality" 5/8" is that the blade feels a bit heaftier--I've been unable to determine why this is--maybe it's not quite as hollow, but it definately doesn't have the same "springyness" for lack of a better word. That is to say, when you tap the blade with your fingernail, it doesn't really reverberate as much as the Dovo. I think this gives a much more comfortable shave for my wiry whiskers. The other thing that a lot of people might be interested to know is that the razor I received, unlike the one pictured on all the barber supply websites, does not have a rounded point, but a square one. Here's a picture.

BTW, this is my first SRP post.

The older C-Mon's were killer razors and shavers. I have not been all that impressed with the new ones that I have seen on the market.
