You have to realize Bresnick started out sometime after WW1 selling barber supplies and the 3 companies extended through the 1970s so thats alot of razors of differing types they all sold. I can't believe they had one supplier. probably many but really amazing they all shave so great. Not a dud in the group. So in answer to your question whether its a duck or a nick I think they are all equally great.

When you say "we" know there are the various Ducks it is news to me and very interesting news. Can you tell me if there is a resource where I can find out more about the history of the Dubl Duck razors? I am particularly interested in how to know a Puma Duck should I run across one. I am aware that the Bresduck stamp is older then the Pearlduck but beyond that I am in the dark.

An old barber told me to hold the razor securely but lightly enough so that is if it pulls the razor will flex in your fingers and be less likely to nick. He also told me to never force it if it does pull. Following that advice I have rarely gotten a nick.
