A beautiful example of time-tested functional value from Dovo. Royal Shave has done well by me, as the copy I received has unmatched grain on the scales, but they are gorgeous nonetheless. I imagine this is part of the reason they took nearly $80 off the $200 asking price! That makes this a steal of a deal!
The edge needed a slight polish on a finishing stone for a truly comfortable tug-free shave, but it would indeed shave out of the box. If you want a buy once cry once lifetime razor. This is what I would recommend.
