The Dovo 41 blades have the reputation of being very nice shavers.
Tough choices. Good Luck.

Thanks Lynn. Seeing as you carrying a million Dovo's, which blade is used in the _____wood series (ie. desert ironwood, snakewood, etc.)?

The Dovo Renaissance is also a top-notch shaver, and it's a 6/8. The unique rounded toe and heel make it quite forgiving for after you've had a rough night playing beer pong, or whatever it is you guys do at a frat...
EDIT: BTW, Wapis have stainless scales, but the blade itself is HCS.Last edited by Seraphim; 08-27-2009 at 02:11 PM.

I was looking at the Renaissance but the Ebony is cheaper and round point too. And looks better lol. Really I'm after vintage though. I know about Friodurs, and will probably end up with one, I just wanted to know if there are other options. I know DD had one, but its rare. Same can be said of Hess 44's. The only other readily available one I know is the weltmeister, but that is pretty plain for the same price as many Friodurs.

If youa re just looking for an inexpensive "beater" that you won't cry over if lost at the frat house:
FS:Hoffritz 5/8" stainless for newbees. - Badger & Blade
$50? fuggetaboutit! You can't beat that.

I'm not just looking for a beater- just somethign that I don't have to make ultra sure that it is dry and will last longer between touch ups and what not. Basically more durable. The Weltmeister I heard is great but the one I've found on sale is pretty plain for $140 or whatever it cost.
The one in the classifieds piques my interest but I'm really looking for a workhorse and so far I've found I like big blades, but not as much as the 4/8-5/8 range. This is also an issue with the Weltmeister.Last edited by khaos; 08-28-2009 at 02:08 AM.

Actually the old Hoffritz were nice shavers.
For me the 7/8 Friodur is an easier razor to use size wise. The 8/8 blade in addition to wider are longer.
Hess 44 are killer shavers.......I mean......uh.......no no no.....they are not good and hard to hone and ugly........
