    So, these two razors were on auction within days of each other. I won the Wonderedge first but couldn’t pass up bidding on the DOVO. @gssixgun had posted about a restoration he had done on this razor some time ago and gave it very high marks. JPEG image.jpeg So, despite the likely similarity, I gave it a shot and won. :bounce017:

    Both razors went straight to Glen for honing and they showed up today. They both went into action for today’s shave so I could compare them more directly. The Wonderedge on the right side of my face, the Fritz Bracht DOVO on the left.
    IMG_0525.jpg

    Hot water preparation
    AOS Lavender PSO
    Castle Forbes Lavender Shaving Cream
    Savile Row
    Dubl Duck Wonderedge 5/8
    Fritz Bracht DOVO 25 6/8
    Thayers Rose Petal Witch Hazel

    The verdict? The Fritz Bracht DOVO is very smooth. The Wonderedge holds the advantage on sharpness. Both produce a smooth, close shave on the first pass on the chin, both handle an ATG one handed shave of the mustache with relative ease, and both left little for touch ups. That makes both top tier razors. The winner? Tough call. If I can eke out a little more sharpness with some paste from the DOVO it’ll have the edge. Then again, this is just the first shave and later shaves could convince me otherwise. :rofl:

    Happy shaving - Karl

    Excellent shave. The Blackbird is a great razor and I think I received an email from Shane stating that they are 10% off this week. Just saying you may want to check it out if you enjoy using it.
