Whichever one you like the look of better- both will be well made razors, assuming they are both in good condition now.

Benjamin's answer sums it up. Both will be good, but it's really down to which you want more.

Yep, Benjamin's just about covered it. That's a lot of Bucks to drop on a razor btu if you really want one or the other, go for it.

Is it a new Dovo? They're great (apparently, I don't have one), but vintages are pretty damn hot. Many would say better (myself included) but it's mighty subjective. Coming clean, personally I'd go vintage any day. Don't even have to worry about the big names, so long as the condition is right, they all seem pretty good.

I have a Dovo Rennisance that I use daily, I also have a Wade and Butcher that is similar in size. Both shave GREAT, I use the Dovo more since it was new when I bought it and its what I reach for first. I tend to use the W&B on special occasions. No real reason, just nostalgic with its age I guess.
What one looks better to you.

There might be a little bit of nostalgia/blade size preference thrown in there, too. W&Bs tend to be on the larger side and (I believe) have been around for longer. Other than that, one isn't "better" than the other.
I say split the money and buy one of each.
