Thread: 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.

Bloodthirsty Ducks!

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!
