I have a Double Arrow razor, and it is top notch. It is by far the best rope cutter, box opener, wire stripper, and pencil sharpener I have ever owned.

Double Arrow Quality isn't that an oxymoron
Maybe I will go eat some jumbo shrimp.

In quality, performance, appearance, and price, I consider the original scales that come with the DA to be a perfect match for the blade.

Yeah, I got a couple of DAs for s*%ts & gigles and they reminded me of the first draft "blades" turned out by my friends taking high school metal shop.

Whoa now people... In their defense, the steel is good. Looks aren't everything.

But that's the thing Dan- I remember reading accounts from experienced people of getting DAs with terrible steel that would not hone up well enough to give a comfortable shave. Maybe you got a less than bad one (remember- no good ones lol).

I DO consider the steel to be OK (I balk at "good"). I'm just saying that I consider the existing scales to be an adequate match for the DA blade. Originally Posted by floppyshoes
