    Default Just under 2 & a quarter



    TOP: #118 Flowing scalloped spine, 6/8 sholderless
    BOTTOM: #6 Carrie, "french for square" 6/8 sholderless

    These both arrived today. Two for less than the price of one.
    Might be too similar. Well have to see if this both keepers, or which one shaves better.
    Haven't had much luck with Dovo, so I figured I'd give it another go.

    I guess it can't hurt to try. They make good straight razors. I have never seen those before though.

    Those are clean! The top one looks to me like a great shaver, but maybe because my daily shavers look similar. Ofcourse that doesn't always mean much but it just seems like it does to me.
    I heard that the old Dovos are better but that could be a baseless rumor..

    I have a 2 year old dovo , that takes as good an edge as most ,, so I don't see a problem there just not all that nice on fit and finish but the blade shaves well, and I got he cheapest they sold at the time the Dovo Best Quality , with black scales that had a bent pin, I sent it off and had ivory scales put on it ,, so I have the only Dove Best dressed in classy scales ,, but I shaved with it for a year inn rotation and still take it out once in a while ,, I think it mostly depends on who hones it tc

    I've always liked the shoulder less, thumb notched, decorated spine, and unique scales of the Flowing and have contemplated buying one in the past.
