Currently, I'm using a Dovo Best Quality Black 5/8" as my only every day razor. I realize that it's a good idea to have more than one razor, especially since i know that I will have to send this one back to Lynn, eventually, to have it honed. I'm not quite ready to try honing straights myself, yet.
Since I know that I'm getting some money for Christmas, I'm considering picking up one of two razors. The two I'm choosing between are the Dovo Silver Steel Ebony 5/8" or the Dovo Immitation Tortoise Shell 5/8", otherwise known as The Dovo Special. Other than the scales being different, does anyone know what other differences there are between the two? Is the steel any different? Does one keep an edge better? Any advice would be grealy appreciated.
