Hello all,

I all of a sudden got the urge to add something new to my collection. I currently own a SRP LE TI razor, dovo 5/8 high carbon, and a tosuke (which is great but a little awkward so I don't use it as a daily shaver. The difference in edge retention between the SRP LE and the dovo is night and day. From what I understand, the SRP uses the 6/8 sheffield silver steel. I like the weight size and I love the edge retention. I like round-tips because I've never really found a use for the pointy tip and it just seemed to get in the way. I was looking at getting another TI, a stainless dovo, or one of the maestro livi regrinds. I know from the reviews that the maestro regrinds are good and it sounds like most everybody would prefer them to a dovo or TI but I was wondering about edge retention. It doesn't look like these are stainless. Edge retention didn't really seem like a problem until I was alternating between the SRP and the dovo carbon. The dovo gets dull so much faster than the TI. Any input would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

Dan
