Thanks Lynn,
Would anyone have a photo of the 'generic ones with the black tangs' just so i could have a look, compare
p.s. Lynn, i purchased one of your Dovo's the other day so i should be able to see what a real honed razor feels like :D cant wait! i just hope i don't round off the edge once i get it hehe
Edit: I think i found it. let me know if its worng, the blade dose look a LOT like mine though :(

Also i found this about the steels they are using now.
How dose that compare to dove or other brands... i remember reading somewhere the Dovo's hardness was around the 59 and a minimum of .5% carbon although i cant find that again to confirm. I guess not that it really matters as it all comes down to how the product preforms.
