Or weirdos like me who wants to keep their collections small. I image no more then 10 razors and 6-7 brushes is my limit.

I hear that. I probably have the around those numbers of brushes and razors combined, just flip the brush and razor numbers.

Indeed! Quality over quantity!!! But to be honest I do sometimes envy those with large collections. However I would be sadden by the fact I couldn't even get to use them in any sort of timely manner. I have slower beard growth so only shave once to twice a week. A rotation of 10 razors alone last me a month and a week to 2.5 months.

I’ll say this, in further defense of DCs...Sometimes I want to shave with a more aggressive/efficient razor, particularly if I haven’t shaved in two or more days. If the razor is efficient enough (and I do a good job), I should have pretty good results after the first pass. Personally, I don’t need the same level of aggression/efficiency the next time around. The second pass should be like any other second pass, where a milder razor gets the job done.

My favorite DC is a once-per-week razor for me, which is sort of bittersweet. It’s typically my best shave of the week, however. Other than Wolfman, I’m not sure there are any other dual gap options out there. I always thought a dual gap CG Lvl 3/2 would be a heck of a razor.

One big negative to the DC is that I feel like I am always rinsing soap off of it. It’s definitely not a razor for people in a hurry.

That is pretty much how I use mine minus the fact that my DC is the same gap. Use the OC for 1st and 2nd pass then SB for everything else.

My main gripe is the appearance.

Yeah, OCD would never allow me to own a DC I am sad to say!

He will make a single comb in dual gaps if you ask.
