Test shave before sending off the WE. Razor performance was maybe 9+ / 10 BUT:

water in scuttle was too hot and this ruined the lather I usually go for a bit colder water. This time decided to experiment... Bottom line: I shouldn't have. Overall shave was sub-par as I had no patience for good new lather so just dabbed soap / water with the tips of the brush... which was not that great.

Cheers

Dang, Rich - I was hoping for 3 Ducks in a row...

But I guess it's better this way - the name is Double Duck, after all - not Tripple, and Taz and I did a nice little number with the Wonderedges
