That's exactly my point. I don't think any one particular brand from the vintage days of Solingen is head and shoulders above the rest, or, more accurately in my opinion, given my experience with many; they are all as great as each other. Saying that, I have not tried a Duck and don't intend to for those prices either. Frankly they don't do alot for me aesthetically and I think its crazy that they go for such fortunes, or certainly in excess of $200 dollars a piece in good condition. To me the justice just is not there.

But then again, we all like different things and I'm not knocking anyone for wanting a Duck. It just annoys me that every time I see one (or a Filarmonica) on the bay, with ages left for that matter, they are always sky high.

I get the feeling that the majority of the time it is people who aren't well informed on them and have a greatly distorted opinion of them.

I mean really, the guys that really know their razors spend all their money on hones, surely? I'm all about the rocks! It's not the razor, its how well you can hone it!
