Satinedge
There are just a couple things I like all wrapped in satin. Those ducks are one.
Don't get hung up on hanging hairs.

My DD also snags on the scales if I'm not careful. Its a sweet shaver though, and I'm keeping my eye on the 'Bay for the next one..!
Glad you like yours! She's a real beaut!

Yea. I've been reading some other threads on strightening celluloid scales. I'm not so hot on a hairdryer on trasparent scales. Considering just living with it as terribly annoying as it is.

Those transparent scales are great! I've only seen them tinted before.

That Satinedge looks pretty much identical to mine. Great shaver, and it was my first shaveready straight. Congrats!
BTW- they say the DD's extremely thin grind contributes to the ease of honing and superb shaves; I'm inclined to agree, though I'm not usually a fan of extra hollow blades

i think all dducks have some sort of twist to the scales,i was fed up with my goldedge blade not sitting in the center of the scales,so i plugged in my heat gun and warmed up the scales slowley and with a wooden paint stick between the scales and some carefull massaging igot that SOB right where i wanted it .

Right - let me follow up on that...
I have been reading that if you heat up Satinedge transparent scales, they can be shaped...
Just so I know what I am looking for, when the scales heat up... I presume the scales simply soften?

What a peach of a razor! I'm currently doing a bit of Duck hunting myself. If I'm lucky enough to find one half that nice it'll be almost as good as a girlfriend half my age. Your post has ensured the survival of my SRAD for some time to come.
