I don't like AOS's products. Period. The pre shave oil is a useless non starter which clogs my brush and sink. The "Lime" scent is no match for almost any other lime scent I know. In a nutshell, thanks but no thanks.

Dovo vs Revisor? Revisor. The razor is easier to handle (thanks to the jimps), and I like the looks even better than those of the Bismarck. As far as performance is concerned, the Dovo was honed by Lynn, and the Revisor wasn't. I'm working on that, though... ;)
