Ducks bite!

I've owned a few ducks over the years and they were greats shavers, just less forgiving.

If a razor slices you, you have moved the edge laterally. If the tip cuts you, you lifted the heel.
It really is no fault of the razor.

A Duck with a spike is no different than any other razor with a spike. You have to know where that spike is at all times and where it's going relative to your skin.

You might be thinking of a French point.
When I cut myself which isn't often, it is from me accidentally jerking or moving.

I have to disagree. Some razors are just blood thirsty. I had one that would bite me when it was still in my razor roll ;) All joking aside though the razors that would bite me were usually round points or ones that I muted. The scary super sharp looking spike or square points usually didn't and I think that is because I paid closer attention to those because they looked like they would cut while the others seemed friendlier.

Sounds like you don't disagree at all :)

I've had a good handful of DD's, all were great shavers.

Interesting. I've never had an issue with any of the DD's (the DD stainless being my most forgiving and smoothest) however I had a Filarmonica DT 14 and 13 and no matter how careful I was I always nicked myself with the 14, never with the 13. It was a total mystery. Ended up getting rid of the 14. But getting back at topic, never an issue with DD's.

I have never had any trouble with my ducks.
All great shavers!
