After watching Dave in KY video on how to use a Durham Duplex with a modern blade I gave it a go. A real fiddle to get the two blades in place, like Dave I only focused on using one edge on which I fitted a Feather Pro Guard, the other edge blade is just a spacer. With some trepidation I got to work and wow, what a great experience. I achieved bbs in two main passes and pick ups, no blood no drama. I thought that the wide head would make the shave a challenge but to my surprise it was relatively easy, shaving the gregory was a bit fiddly so took time to cover every nook and cranny.
I include an original Duplex blade in the foto for comparison purposes. It’s quite something and a carpet layer could use it to trim carpets! I would not attempt to shave with it
1 UP soap just got
from @CunningMrFox (cheers J) has a captivating Lemon base scent which I love and loaded with sufficient water it lathers superbly.
Have a great weekend fellas!
