Oops... All Dupes!
Allow me to explain:
Stirling x Zenith 510 SE: This Stirling x Zenith Brush, no matter how you look at it, is a dupe of the MOAR BOAR. This brush followed in the wake of MOAR BOAR after Rod got talking with Zenith. It's a good brush, but it's just chasing the dragon.
Hadoson Frameback: The Frameback Style is a dupe. Invented by Swedish razor makers in an attempt to compete with superior machining capabilities coming out of Solingen and Sheffield and their full hollow grinds. This style of Frameback is considered 2nd generation. The 1st gens just had a piece of material fixed to the spine of the razor. These 2nd gens had a piece of quality steel fixed to a complete frame.
Deep Blue Sea: A more obvious one. This is a dupe of Bleu de Chanel and a pretty good one at that. It doesn't quite hit as well as BDC, but it's good.
Nice shave this evening.
Side challenge: It's a "Deep Blue C". Get it??
