Is a double bevel actually weaker? I have barely played with it at all--really just enough to look at the effect under a microscope, so I don't have any actual experience with using a double bevel, but I don't understand why the edge should be weaker. The actual edge would be more obtuse and therefore should stronger. The shoulder between the first and second bevel would seem to be the point that would wear faster relative to the full face of a normal bevel but I would think that such shoulder wear would not have a significant impact on the edge.
For those of you who use a double bevel, does your edge dull faster?
The concept or application of a double bevel, on razors is a pretty interesting subject to me...could we start a new thread on that for feedback?
There are some comments i remember reading, from various people, but nothing brought together in a single thread.

I can start one, but didnt want to steal your subject Utopian.

Thanks,
