Interesting remark. I can see at least 4 flaws on this razor. Now let me see... The Dovo "Best Quality" is approx USD 30 more. Taking into account Dovo's near impeccable QA track record, and their high quality scales, I would always go for the Dovo - if I wanted a new razor.

Don't get me wrong, chaps: if you're happy with your Chinese razors, that's great. However, there is an alarming amount of people reporting badly ground Chinese razors, and that is never a good thing. Especially if a number of beginners starts running around in this forum, claiming that these razors are the best value a beginner can get. Because they are not. Any decent vintage Solingen razor will out shave and out perform them, and yet there are always a few of those available in the classifieds for the same money or less than one of the Chinese razors.
