Noisy DDs

Yes, Dubl Ducks are considered "extra hollow", the blades are for the most part extremely thin. That would certainly account for the additional noise made when shaving and stropping. That's my observation, at least.

Thanks, that answers the question. Now I know what an extra hollow sounds like, the sound of one hand quacking in the case of DDs, compared to a normal full hollow. Would not have believed there was such an audible difference.

I have a 6/8 square point Goldedge Dubl Duck, near mint, that I bought on a whim. Yes, it's the noisiest razor in use (1 of 7). I also use a Theirs Issard singing hollow,
7/8, that is not as loud. I mentioned in a recent post that I am not too fond of the Dubl Duck, and the noise is one of the reasons. Beautiful razor, though.

If its just the noise don't worry but if the shave is affected, lay the spine closer to the skin. It will quieten considerably.

BTW, once the whiskers are gone, it becomes silent.
