Thread: Help me choose-Dovo vs Boker

Hello, woodturner:

I have always liked the English Shaving Company for their products and excellent service and have ordered a big supply of goodies from them.

I don't know, however, whether they hone their razors in-house before sending them out. A factory edge on your Dovo might be enough for your type of beard. If not, you might need to have the razor honed professionally. Let's wait and see. A good choice on your razor from a fine company. Congratulations.
