I dropped my recently purchased Dovo "Best Quality" razor on my bathroom's ceramic tiled floor and warped the blade a little. The end bent a bit. I straightened it back out as best I could with some pliers but it isn't perfect.
Don't tell my wife, but I'm probably going to buy a new razor. I'm either going to go back to the local knife shop and get the Boker they had (it was about $115) or buy something else online.
I found a manufacturer called Linder that I cannot find any reviews for and was curious if anyone here is familiar with them. They say their blades are carbon steel with a hardness 58-59 HRC. They are priced on Amazon.com at about $90.

If anyone has purchased one of these would they be so kind as to post their opinion of them? Are they "shave ready?" I haven't purchased any honing stones yet and don't really want to spend the money on them just yet.
