Just got a new Dovo Bismarck, spike point with bone handles, in from SRD and my is it beautiful. I love the weight of the scales, the gold etching, and I trust the shave will be fantastic. I am going away this weekend and it will definitely be coming with me and I will shave with it for the first time tomorrow night (all of my other shaving stuff was packed already and I shaved yesterday). Will report back with results when I get back. Can't wait.
