That has got to be one of the most interesting gold washes/etches I've seen yet. Very eye catching, imparts a unique sense of character to the razor - beautiful straight you have there Oglethorpe.

Thanks. I do my part to feed others' SRAD, so I'm not the only one buying them. Originally Posted by jhenry

Battle of the shoulderless thumb notch 6/8s
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.
SOTD Items Details Pre shave AOS "Lime" pre shave oil Soap/Cream AOS "Lime" Razor Dovo "Bismarck Black" 6/8 - Straight Razor Place Wiki vs Revisor "Unspecified" 6/8 - Straight Razor Place Wiki Post shave Alum Bar After shave balm Edwin Jagger "Aloe Vera" Perfume Washington Tremlett "mp/h" Setup
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...
