Kevin,

I think we all agree that it is a case of YMMV. Which is why I amended the FAQ to that effect. If I came across as rude, I readily apologise, but I cannot hide a certain amount of...

Since you're also a B&B member, you'll have a better feel special moderator treatment: How come that is is always B&B members who find fault with Dovo razors but you get banned for challenging such...

Let me help you understand then: The Dovo Bismarck is being used by several members here. None of them have reported the problems you claim to have. Which makes yours idiosyncratic. Just like the...

Well, well, well. Isn't it remarkable how it is always senior (as in "maximum amount of posts in a minimum of time", not "experienced") B&B members who end up having idiosyncratic problems with Dovo...

Dear Robert,



So you own a 1/4 hollow Grelot, but have difficulty using the Dovo? How peculiar.



Three things that come to mind:

Interesting thread. Not the first time the topic has been discussed, so I have concocted a new FAQ entry for it. Feel free to amend and enhance (quotes are attributed in the Wiki, but cut and past...

I was going to say "big" brand names, but actually, I do not consider Filarmonica a big brand name. It's just the latest rave, and it will pass. Or maybe not, depending on how many people buy these...

I've said it before, and I'll say it again: That is a really good way to burn money. There are simply too many good razors out there to waste money on brand names.

Whatever.

Yes, and I still maintain that the question is difficult to answer, if at all. Every razor is potentially an everyday shaver. The price range gives you access to everything except some hyped vintage...

See the reviews. The Bismarck is bigger, and has less flex. I like the way it shaves better. They are both "good razors" (cf. http://straightrazorpalace.com/razors/46096-good-razor-what.html), my...

Chaps,

May I gently draw your attention to this thread: http://straightrazorpalace.com/razors/46096-good-razor-what.html (yes, shameless plug for my own rambling thoughts...). I think the term...

Interesting. I have that razor, too (luckily not the mirror polish/wooden scales one), and I would definitely go for the Dovo Bismarck 6/8 instead. Reasons can be found in...

Interesting. That is a totally different scenario. That would be 5 razors from reputable sellers in the Classifieds then.

Gentlemen,

I think we are swimming in circles here. Without a clear indication of the features the original poster requires, we might as well call this thread "Razor Wars: Return of the Chronik"....

Trevor, it would be most helpful if you could specify your request. As it is, there is absolutely no valid answer. "What is the best razor for a budget that will basically get me any razor?" is a bit...
