Hey guys,
I have $100 to spend. I like hollow ground razors, 5/8-6/8. Let me know what you think.

If vintage is an option, that leaves so many choices. I don't think I could pick just one...
Actually, I can. Red Imp 133.
There's some on ebay that are shave ready...u cant go wrong with Bokers or if you want, check out the
6/8ths Boker 1/4 Hollow Razor in Red Acrylic in the classifieds (page 2)
but thats just me of course (if i had a 100$ to spend):gl:
I'm a Boker guy as well. Can't go wrong there. I'm up to 8 of the now.
Dups,
Apart from vintage razors on the 'Classifieds' page, I would recommend the Dovo Best full hollow in 5/8 or 6/8.
I have found the Dovo Bests to be first class razors :)
You can get them from StraightRazorDesigns for ca 80 - 85 USD.
They have a 'honing for life' offer at the moment, and that sounds like a super deal :)
The Dovo Specials (Tortoise) are also very fine razors - I have one in 6/8 and it is a lovely shaver.
Have fun !
Best regards

For $100 you could get a couple of old Sheffields, you might luck out on a DD Goldedge (I saw one go for about $80 the other day) or you could get a new razor like a DOVO Blackstar.
Choices, choices...! :)
For my two cents (or your $100), I'd say go with any well-known brand in the SRD classifieds. You can't go wrong with a well honed vintage. Caution: eBay 'shave ready' razors are not always shave ready.
I snatched a 6/8 Hollow ground razor with Max scales from B&B! My first shot with a W&B!
Thanks for the great suggestions guys!
Here's the razor:
