Bresduck Dubl Duck Satinedge, 11/16 Full Hollow, Square Point

Dubl Duck straight razors are shavers you can always trust. With their full hollow grinding, they are a joy to use: singing and effective, they always give a very good shave. This Satinedge is no exception and it certainly is a superb straight razor. Not to mention the super cheap Arko soap - however a very good soap - and the refreshing splash of Aqua Velva, for a very satisfactory shave!​
