I have been shaving with straights for a few weeks now. I am using a Dovo Best Quality 6/8 and one in 5/8. I bought these because of the price point. I really enjoy these razors and my shaves have been real good. What I am wondering is if the blades on the more expensive Dovo's are markedly better. Just wondering if I am missing out on something. I really don't care about fancy scales at all, just interested in the blade.
