Hey all,

I'm looking to buy a Dovo stainless steel razor; the idea of a blade that requires less upkeep and holds an edge longer appeals to me. Since my wallet can't take the purchase of a genuine MOP razor (sigh), I've pretty much narrowed it down to these two blades. Should I go with the more traditional Perlex blade, or the heel-less (sort of) sexy design of the Renaissance? Both cost about the same. Aesthetically I'd give the edge to the Renaissance by a hair (enough puns for you?), but the Perlex is very simple and clean (and gorgeous). Do the imitation ivory scales of the Renaissance look good in person? Thanks in advance for the opinions.
