Hello All,

I have a Dovo 5/8", full hollow, round point, straight that I bought from SRD. I want to try some new sizes and grinds. I was thinking I would try to find a 6/8th, half hollow, spike but they seem harder to find than I was expecting. So I have been considering other combinations as well.

I am thinking about these 2 options so far. I'd like to hear what you gentlemen suggest for getting a better feel for different straight razor sizes and grinds.

Option 1: (from SRD lifetime honing)
Dovo Bismark 5/8, full hollow, spike point. (try spike)
Dovo Prima Klang 5/8, extra hollow, round point. (try extra hollow)

Option 2: (NOS, Shave ready)
Rugby 6/8, quarter hollow, spike point. (try 6/8, spike, and 1/4 hollow)

My budget is around $300 otherwise I might have just bought all 3.
I also like a clean blade, even bevel and sound scales. This is why I am looking at new or new-old-stock. I would consider vintage razors but I would want them fully restored.

Anyway sorry for going so long let me know what you all think and if there are vendors I should be looking at let me know. I try to follow the SRP vendors but I am not seeing a lot of options probably due to the Holiday season.

Thank you,
