Thread: How many Dubl Ducks are there?

I have one and its shaving characteristics are those of a wedge even though its kind of wimpy for a wedge but I guess it made the barbers happy.

Wimpy like how? Does it have the stiffness and the quiet shave of a wedge?

It is a "single concave grind" wedge not a "flat" grind, and is only a 5/8 razor. That having been said; mine shaves as well as my 7/8 W&B wedge.

Thanks Dave. Would you say its grind corresponds to a half hollow, full hollow?

I guess I don't know what "single concave" means...
