I only use a DE. Is a durham staight, a total joke to a straight razor user or is there any use for one. I seen a shop that has 50 new blades, for sale and the holder. I just thought I would ask. It seems like a bad design to me, and I dont know much about it. I do know that they wont sell for much, on ebay, but thats with out any blades.

I assume you mean the Durham Duplex. I've shaved with one with a Stanley carpet blade in it, and it's no worse than using a GEM, once you figure out the angle. If it helps you understand it better, it's like an open-comb DE but with the handle out the side instead of the bottom. But like I said, it shaves kinda like an open-comb GEM.

Cool. Just remember, if it isn't obvious, that the side you see in the picture above is the one that will be facing out/away from your face. I've seen confusion over this before...
can you get new blades for them and where at
