Thread: Dovo vs Wade & Butcher

Then go with the W&B. If you like the look, go for it!

Dovo is readily available and on everyone's website. Wade and Butcher is vintage, not in production and there's a finite supply of them out there, especially in pristine condition. Granted, you do see a lot of them, but again, Dovo is in production, W&B is not. Grab the W&B, Sheffileld steel is awesome and legandary. Get the Dovo down the road, next time, it'll still be there....Both are great blades....

Seriously i think i will

Don't forget to show us some pictures of whatever you purchase.

haha,,,sure will.....im still trying to figure out how to put my pic on my profile :P i just cant find the option

GOT IT ,,thank you guys for you help :P

this is what my heart settled on a german Simmons USA. what do you guys think of the brand??
the pix are in the album i just created

A new Dovo or buy a higher end Dovo on SRP Classifieds. I have three of them and they all do shave well and take an edge well.

W&B has a good reputation too, but new or near new was my preference starting out and that was pretty much Dovo or Ti's. But there are more new choices available.

$155 is only the beginning

I forgot to mention classifieds! That's where I got my first 2 razors at $35 a pop. There's so many razors there for just about anybody

Here's general FAQS

Future reference here's some brands to look into

Simmons was a really huge hardware store in St. Louis. Their razors are rebranded Solingen razors and are pretty good, about like any other vintage Solingen.
