Thread: Are More Expensive Razors That Much Better?

It is about 3 times the price of a Dovo Best Quality and I am wondering if the performance is that much better and worth the extra money. I suspect the answer is yes and let's be honest I love the way it looks so will probably go that route anyway. What are your thoughts?

Thanks!

If you have exactly one razor a second Dovo Best Quality makes a lot of sense
especially because it is working for you.

After two the flood gates open.

More expensive razors can be ground better and have
tighter tolerances and in some cases harder tempering
and more expensive steel.

Some of my $30 antique store razors have the most
incredible grind. These would sell for $500 if they were new.

There is a marvelous Dovo in the monthly give away...
make sure you enter.... I want it but good luck to all.

The care and feeding of some of the thin grinds was beyond
me for a year or two. But they are passing the old guard
in no time with my new hones and new knowledge.
