    Your Adoration has a chip in the heel which is already rounded up some into the stabilizer. Better do some reading up on how to fix that. Its going to be a bear to hone if you don't. You got some fixer uppers that will be fine razors though.
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    I want to give you advice so badly, but I still can't get over how you write huge, full paragraphs, with multiple ideas of thought, and do not include a single punctuation.

    See there's this guy (.), that means you've completed a thought or statement and can then move on to the next statement. It takes two, maybe even three times as long to understand what you're trying to say because it's all tossed into one jumble, one has no idea where you statements start and stop.

    I understood what he was saying. Punctuation would be helpful, but I understood well enough without it. If you truly want to help him you could send him a PM. Instead you're trying to call him out and publicly embarrass him. NOT COOL! Perhaps he's not as educated as you are. Maybe English is his second or third language. He could just be a little lazy in his style of writing. Does that make it okay for you to insult him? Should he be made to feel less welcome on SRP?

    Thanks for the kind words Razorback23 :<0) Everything I know about razors I learned in here. Just keep at it and you can accomplish anything.
    Just go slow and be careful.

    One of my three best razors is a dubl duck satin wedge. It has clear scales that are in near perfect shape. This razor will always give me a great shave. Note, I did not capitalize dubl duck or satin wedge as that is the way they are on the razor. The other favorites are my German made Red Imp & an old W&B "Hollow Ground" with horn scales.
    Anyway I would clean up the duck & see what you have!

    I had to own one and went on Ebay and picked up a DD1 and a golden edge that looks brand new. I touched them up on my Escher, Chromium Oxide board and English paddle strop and they shave smoothly. I agree they are easy to hone and maintain. Are they the best, no. I still prefer my Aust's for the money. Are they acceptable for daily shaving, absolutely. A fun razor for anyones collection.Name:  IMG_0233.jpg
