Dubl Duck

After just a few days with my old Thiers-Issard I find myself really, really interested in straight razors and when I saw this one for sale for a very reasonable penny I decided to get it to see how it would work out for me.

Enjoyed my Thiers-Issard so much I decided I 'needed' one more straight razor to try out....

It looks really purty I think.

Anyone have any good or bad experiences with one like this?

Very nice razor. I've had a handful of them and they all took a wonderful edge. Congrats.

And so the RAD begins... :beer2:

Thanks, yeah once I get it I'll be sending it out for a clean-up and honing.

Ugh..if there's one thing I don't need it's another type of AD :)

You have stumbled onto the Holy Grail there buddy! Conigrats, you have found a real keeper, they take a beautiful edge and the shave is nothing less than fantastic!

I think some of use were looking forward to you getting bit by this AD. You have such an awesom collection of DEs and SEs, that I can't wait to see what you end up with for straights.

Well, how unfortunate for you. "The Forum Rules of Conduct" specify that you will both drink the Kool-Aid and acquire as many razors as humanly possible. I'm sure you checked "I agree".

That was their flagship razor with the cryo treated steel. it does shave quite nicely.
