Thread: Double duck opinions

I have two stainless steel dovos at the moment, heaven knows why I have two. Two requirements:

1) I need all my straights to be stainless, they are able to save me from myself.
2) I have been thinking of buying a double duck to get something with a different personality then my dovos.

Do you think that the double duck meets my requirements? If they do not what do you recommend?

If they do make a stainless you will have a difficult time finding one. Crabon is not that hard to care for. Just wipe it good then let it sit out for a day before putting it away. Light oil. I also use Rena wax

You know... stainless is not rust proof. So if you are leaving your razors sitting in puddles of water all day, they will eventually rust/tarnish too.

I've gotten stainless razors from Puma, Henckles Friodur, C-Mon, and some customs. They are all good but I still prefer carbon. I take care of them all in the same manner regardless of type. Rinse, dry with tissue, strop 20 laps on leather and wipe with a silicon gun clothe and a rust preventative. Store in a dry area. Ducks are scarce in stainless. I think holli4pirating has one but I don't know too many who do.

I have a DD Stainless and it's a very smooth shaver indeed. Never stains if maintained properly. However my other Ducks give me the same quality shave. If you can eventually grab one I would just because they don't show up that often.
Just remember they were made by Dovo probably in the late50's/early60's.

If you want a different feeling SS razor then I suggest the Hess #44 they are not tooooooo rare, you can find them, and they are probably the smoothest feeling SS blade I have used so far... IMHO
