    Default entry level Dovo

    what is the difference between the entry level Dovo best quality to the micarta to the bismarck ? Is it just flash ?

    I've wondered the same thing myself. I'm thinking that you're probably right about the "flash" - same blade, different fancier scales.

    dbriz,

    Shaving wise, I have found there is not a lot, if any, difference.

    The Dovo Best shaves well above it's price point !!

    It is down to personal preference

    I have the Dovo Best and the Dovo EnVogue (Micarta), and both shave excellently ! If you would like a stainelss blade, then look at the EnVogue (Micarta) or other 105 or 41 Dovo blades.

    I have not shaved with the Bismarck, so cannot offer any opinion, though it has a lot of admirers.

    Have fun !

    Best regards

    Russ

    The way it works is all Dovos are fine shavers.the more bling,the more the price.I have a Best Quality and a Dovo Special .....I get great shaves from both. Carbon is easier to sharpen and keeps a fine edge...stainless is a little more work to sharpen,but keeps a good edge and resists staining and rust more so than carbon.That is pretty much it.Price wise,The two above mentioned blades are going to be your best deals really.

    I've always thought it would be nice to have a "Best Quality" razor. The lack of "flash" appeals to me.

    I think they may be the best in the Dovo line-up simply because purchasers focus on the utilitarian nature of the razor and not other incidentals.
