I watched this for a couple of days, but I just couldn't do it. Once the price went to $180, I chickened out. Someone got a decent deal.
Help me out here guys "Grim Reaper" what are they?
Why do we need them so badly?
Correct me if I'm wrong, guys. The "Grim Reaper" is actually a Dubl Duck Lifetime razor known primarily for the cool little skeleton with a scythe on the scales. It probably shaves no better than any other Dubl Duck, but it is scarcer than other models, and that Grim Reaper dude is really cool.
The Vesuvius in the ended ebay auction I linked to is a Bresnick razor. Bresnick was the earliest incarnation of Dubl Duck and was also known at various points as Bresduck and Pearlduck. This black razor is a Bresnick with I guess is the earliest usage of the Grim Reaper guy and is even rarer than the Dubl Duck Lifetime. Plus, it's black which is cool.
In all honesty - I think all DD's are vastly overpriced for what they are
I'd have to agree with that. They are pretty good shavers but not great. I've had $10 Shumates that shave better.
Probably just as good .
The Ducks are prettier though. Overpriced? I do agree.
Ok guys, are there any other razors that in your opinion shave as well as a DD (other than the obvious Bokers, W&Bs, etc)? Seems any DD without a chip in the blade costs upwards of 80.00, which seems ridiculous to me. I'll try to track down a decent Shumate in the meantime.
