In my case the growth beneath the jaw-line is parallel to it and with my angular facial features it's very difficult to go along that part with a longer blade. As for the areas around the ears, they are easy to get to with the toe third of the blade in any direction.

So, anyway, I honed the Dwarf and tried shaving with it and I'm afraid it didn't work so well. It took the scrub off but it didn't shave very close even for a first pass. I figured that a reverse pass would be less than pleasant and so switched to a 9/16-5/8 Henckels Twin I also wanted to try. It worked a bit better but it had the same shortcoming of most smaller blades in that it's just too light for my taste. I'm not giving up on the Duck after only one try- I figure I didn't hone it well enough. So it'll be back to the ole Norton tomorrow.

I no longer collect straight razors. Now I only collect antiques. My collection is very specialized, and focused on metal implements which facilitate the removal of body hair.
Sheesh, I kicked that old straight razor habit LONG ago!

I notice Icecow has changed his avatar pic. So... is that one titled "When Bovines Go Bad." or "Bovines Gone Wild." ?
