So far I have not been looking at the Renaissance. That is the one I would really like to have next. Of all the stainless I have looked at recently, that one just looks like it would fit my face.

I suppose I would also go for the Dovo White Micarta

I just used this razor and although it is my only straight I would bet that not many other razors would fit so nicely around my adams apple the way the shoulderless renaissance does...

it is an excellent razor but like i said i have nothing to compare it to... but man it is nice to have such a nice piece of steel in your hands

The Renaissance has an extremely forgiving outline. The cutting edge is probably 1/4" shorter than most other blades, and the roundpoint, and very rounded heel let you whip it around your face with ease. It also takes a fantastic edge, and is a smooth shaver.

Damn, now I'm talking myself into buying another one!!!

To bad you got rid of it too...you had put such nice wood scales on it...

Looks pretty nice with all matching scales!

It's simple, the SS stains less than CS.

Stainless razors also always make a point of saying that they are stainless, or INOX, or Rostfrei.

New additions to the stainless stable. Pretty similar to the Dovo 5/8.

Banner day here for the stainless-just recieved these two.

The Hess, with a reputation for being a smooth shaving stainless, and the remarkable, and rare Helje Le Duc.

The Le Duc is a rather dainty looking razor, with a slim profile, but what I'm really quite interested in is the fact that it is also quite wedgey, which is almost unheard of for a stainless razor (unless you want to fork out for a custom...)

Serpahim, how do these shave? I am planning on getting one.
