A question for some of the older shavers
Gentlemen,
When i was young and foolish i used dubl duck razors almost exlusively, but in the last few months every time i go use them it seemsthat i get nicked. I do not have this issue with WB, bokers or Torreys that are in the rotation.
So i'm curious, now that my beard is getting rather grey it seems more coarse; could this be why my lightweight (5/8 and 4/8) DD are just not geting it cut properly? Or is this just a figment of my demensia?
any thoughts?
I do not think it is a sharpness issue
i had sent to of the DD to be honed by FUD and they came back still wanting to nick, 3 of them where done by the old (mid 70's) barber in my town (he still occasionally does shaves with a straight for people) and three of them i have done myself. they all seem to want to bite me. i have lent two to one of my nephews and he just loves the way they shave, i touched them up for him this past weekend, but he has not had any complaints.
So maybe it is just me.
