    Absolutely! And it's an easy call for me, but that is me.

    I wonder if I will ever enjoy full hollows? So far I get by far my most enjoyable shaves with heavier "wedgier" blades.

    I already own too many...

    No do not assume that....

    A modern Dovo razor is a well made razor. The entry priced Dovo blades are simple almost no polish
    minimum etch with plastic scales but they shave well when correctly honed and stropped.

    You will not be disappointed.

    After six months expect to have a professional hone it again...

    A $80-85 Dovo (5/8 or 6/8) is a darn fine blade.

    I did!

    My first razor was a Dovo Bismarck. It is still in my rotation today.

    Great shaver, I don't think I'll ever sell it.

    So it's going to make me forget how to hone?

    Golly no... that is what a second razor is for.

    I hone my blades much more often than needed but not my current good shave.
    I use it until another is as sharp and smooth.

    A lot like working on cars. You need a second for the
    days when you need parts or have to get to work before
    your main ride is running again. Mechanics worth their salt
    will not have a fleet of loaners....
