Default First Double Arrow Shave
I received today two Double Arrows from our friend open_razor.
As usual, great service and fast shipping.
I ran the first one trough my DMT-8E and then my Yellow Coticule with slurry, with water and dry.
Then 100 laps on the TM strop.
Got a good shave, not great, but it met my expectactions.
Next week I'll receive my Scary Sharpening set of 3M film and I'm sure I'l get where I want to be with the Double Arrow
I'm a happy camper

How're your Double Arrows doing now? I love mine... It's one of my best non-wedge razors (I prefer the wedge razors)... If I had to thin my herd, the Double Arrow would definitely stay

My DAs are doing great, a 5/8" works better under my jaw line, but I manage with them.
They seem to hold the edge pretty well, touch'em up about once every 7 shaves (once a month)
I'll be re-scaling them soon
