You will not go wrong with SRD products. Dovo is a quality razor, I think you will be happy with it. Good luck!

I have assumed as much, mainly after browsing the forum extensively. I'm still curious about which grind type it is....

The Dovo Best quality is a full hollow blade.

The Dovo Best Quality is _not_ a "near-wedge". But I would describe mine (purchased from SRD) as a "half-hollow" grind, maybe 3/4-hollow. It's fairly hefty compared to the blades I'd call "full hollow" -- I have several of those from different vintage makers.

Grizli,
I have a Dovo Best 5/8 in half-hollow and have found it to be a super razor - it shaves (for me) beautifully and it is very easy to maintain
A true work-horse of a razor !
Have fun !
Best regards
Russ

I agree, nothing wrong with the Dovo BQ. Originally Posted by cpcohen1945

The sizes of the Best Quality razors are 4/8", 5/8", or 6/8". "Size" here refers to the 'height' of the razor, or the length between the spine (the rounded thickest part at the top of the blade) and its edge.niftyshaving likes this.Bjoernar

Looking back on when I started, It would have been good to have my 6/8 Dovo Best half hollow. IMO it would be easier to learn on this blade that the full hollow I had at the time. Less drag and a smoother shave.
