I love the looks of the Durham razors but the proprietary blades are junk. You have to spend too much getting a decent edge on them and that's if you have the right gear to even attempt. AC style blades are almost as long so I decided to see if I can mod some to work. So far, so good. Used a Feather Pro this morning and had a fantastic, BBS shave. Happy to be able to bring some life back into a beautiful razor. I'll share how I modded this evening.
