well i just got done shaving with my new duck (pics in razor forum) and i loved it the pin was real tight and the blade was much heavier than my 6/8 dovo bismarck and a lot longer after i got the first couple of nicks out of the way it was a great shave the razor was never opened until last weekend so it has the original factory edge all i did was strop it about 25 times on linen and 50 on the leather overall i was very impressed with the duck its never going to leave my collection
