I don't think you can buy Dorko's retail. They'd be NOS, not new.

You can get a new Dorko from Shaveingshop or a Wacker. I might go for a vintage Dorko or TI Historic. If you can get $35 more dollars you can get a Livi regrind

I haven't tried any modern blades, so I don't know how they shave. However, I can say that I think most vintage ones are a lot prettier. And from what I've heard, many are hard to beat in terms of the shave.
If I were you, I'd hold on to the money and wait till I could pick up a mint example of one of the really nice vintage brands.

Thanked: 10 getting closer.
I am liking the TI's.
Look at this one. I like the 1/2 hollow with the thumb notch. What do you think? Anyone used any of these new forgings? They sound very nice.

also.... the 6th one down here looks nice.
TI straight razors
Also i saw a F. Herder for sell 7/8 or so restored with ox horn.
Anyone have an opinion? On these choices?

If you go for a TI it will be a good shaver for sure. They're great razors!
Some of the older ones a few years back had pinning and scale problems but these issues seem to have been ironed out on the newer ones.

Well guys, thanks for the imput and insight. I did it! I went ahead and pulled the trigger on a new TI the one with the thumb notch and the new carbon song steel from rasper. I got the blond horn scales. This is a 1/2 ground sexy razor. Can't wait. Anybody got one of these?
