    Default I just got my Dubl Duck Satinedge in the mail today ..

    So I bought this Dubl Duck on eBay the discriptions and pics were great, shave ready, recently honed and stropped, disinfected ... I paid $60 and I have to say I'm so disappointed. This thing is no way near shave ready. The metal on the blade looks like he used steel wool to clean it some really deep scratches in the metal here is what was posted and what I got ... Lol. I guess I over paid for another project. I will post pics later today showing after I clean it up.Name:  1418231396637-1113557869.jpg

    Can't see the second pic.
    If it is not what is described in the ebay photos you could always send it back and get your $$$ Back.

    The blade probably had rust and pitting so he used a heavy duty method for the job. The basic blade looks OK. For a DD the price you paid is probably in line with what it's worth.

    Hard to believe that is the same razor.

    Don't despair. Looks like this razor will clean up nicely with some careful sanding and polishing. Tons of info here on repair and restoration, and the community will jump at the chance to answer any questions and offer sound advice. Hope this can be turned around for the better. There's a lot of satisfaction in taking the time to breathe new life into an abused razor, if you are so inclined.

    Well here is half of it cleaned up anyway, taking a little more time on this one. I don't think she will be perfect due to a couple deep pits but I think it adds some character anyway !!

    A Duck without pits is what they call unaffordable :<0) I would ask for some money back to get it honed to shave ready as claimed. File a claim make them a shamed. I would. I hate lying and those that prey on the untrained eye. Just me, but I feel it is not only ungentlemanly like, it is crooked and doesn't do anything to promote wet shaving. The seller should be poked in the eye :<0)

    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.
