    Default Sell Ducks?

    OK I am wondering if i should sell my gold edge, satin edge, and my dwarf. I have found my favorite razor. It is this frame back. When I first got it, had to rework it allot. I intended to make new scales to it, but finally figured out these were mahogany wood. My biggest problem was sharpness. I would try to hone it, then shave, get disappointed, put it up for a while. Last night, I tried one more time. This am, I got a shave, like I never got before. I now have a new favorite razor, and get to look forward to getting a TI frame back from Cutz. LIFE IS GOOD.

    Yea, thats a good angle in that pic. That is the first razor I could actually "see" was sharp!

    I wouldn't sell anything. I would apply what you've learned to all your razors.

    Is your bevel that shiny on all your razors?

    Can you see a spot that is a little overhoned/worn on the spine? That shiny spot in the dip near the shank.

    Congrats btw, should I start sending razors out to you for honing? :-)

    Yes I can, I had heard how hard frame backs were to hone, but once it got there, it's like driving a BMW.

    I'll have to offer a dissenting opinion (go figure). Whenever I find my newest "best shave" I let the other one go. I like to make room for the next "best"...

    Unless money is tight, I wouldn't sell them yet. Go back to them in the near future and you might be surprised.....

    yeah selling those razors seems a bit premature, but if you are going minimalist a good option may be puting them in a (temporary) storage i am sure there won't be any lack of offers for such service, just remember who gave you the idea
