I agree with the round point recommendation and with the personal preference advice. Personally, I own about 20 razors. top of my list for me is a cheep gold dollar 209. In the two years I have owned it I have sharpened it once, and shave with it often. second is an old Keen Kutter off of the bay and it was a nine dollar razor. to tell the truth my Dovo "Best Quality" is about fifth on my list. That is just my own two cents. I would think that most members here have an inexpensive razor that they just love or that loves them so I do not believe that price necessarily means a great shave, I do think however, that it mean that there is a quality that the company has to live up to.
