Thanked: 43Recommendations?
So... Only a few weeks into the world of using a straight (although have been going to the barber for a long time), and I'm loving every bit of it and absorbing information like a sponge. Birthday is coming up and looking to add a new piece to my fledgling collection.
My current lone shaver is a Dovo "Special" 5/8. Love it.
I also have just picked up an old Genco Easy Aces as an future restoration project.
I'm looking at the following razors for a birthday gift to myself (all from SRD):
1. Boker Edelweiss 5/8
2. Boker King Cutter 5/8
3. Dovo Bismark 6/8
Any recommendations?
Is there a large difference in weight and feel between the 5/8 I currently use and the 6/8 of the Bismark?
Lastly, SRD states that the Bokers have a Spanish point, but the only one that actually looks like a Spanish point is the Celebrated - so are the Edelweiss and King Cutter indeed both round points?
Thanks for any advice or info that can be provided.
