Here's two I don't see in the group. I've had them for about a month and am still working on my picture ttaking techniques. Sorry about the quality. The first is a Bresnick 'Winova'. The second is a 'Twin duck'. Note on the Twin Duck that there is a pin (and spacer) in plaCe of the wedge. Hope these fit in this grpou.

I have a feeling both those razors were rescaled. I've never seen a bresnick with those logos on the scales so that's probably a 100% probability its a rescale. Hard to tell for sure about the other. However I still have not seen a bresnick Blue whatever that is.

I love me some ducks. I have gaggle, but none so pretty as the Lifetime.

Only razor I've ever seen with a Bell and Arrow logo like that is a C-Mon Wedgeway

I have considered that the 'Blue Jinx' and 'Twin duck' may have been re-scaled and if so, were done well. The Blue Jinx I am not sure it was though. I have a picture or it (not taken by me) where the scales do look blue. Due to the quality of the picture I did not post it here. The next time I find some spare time to play with my camera and light box I will see if I can duplicate the Blue appearance on the scales. If I can and based on the name 'Blue Jinx' on the shank I will have to consider the scales original. If I can't duplicate the blue appearance all I will be able to deduce is that the scales may have been replaced.

Regardless of whether the scales are original or re-scaled, they are a part of these particular razor's history and I do like the uniqueness or the razor as they are.

Have any of you seen any other Bresnick 'Blue Jinx" str8s? I'm curoius to learn anything this razor that I can. Your knowlage, thought and/or comments will be appreciated.

It's hard to tell from your photos, but from what I can see it doesn't look like a factory pin job to me on that Blue Jinx razor. I agree with you that the scales and blade compliment each other very well regardless.

How does it shave?

I shaved with it last night for the second time since I picked it up. It's a very smooth shaver.

[Sandcounty]

The scales on the Blue Jinx certainly do remind me of a Peter J. Michels. But, I also recall seeing a couple of Engels with those scales. This could all just be my imagination of course.

This is a Seven Day Case that I got from eBay to put Seven Dubl Duck's in.



This is the Seven Day Case with the Ducks in it. I had to modify it in order to hold the shorter Ducks.



Dubl Duck Wonderedge.



Dubl Dubl Goldedge.



Dubl Duck Lifetime or the "Grim Reaper".

OK, folks. As a young man (more years ago than I care to admit), I got interested in straight shaving and went to barber supply to buy a straight. I purchased a DD Goldedge. Used it for a while, lost interest, and put it in a box.

I recently renewed my interest in straight shaving, especially since stumbling upon the SRP, I've cleaned up the razor, touched up the edge, and am at it again. Having a ball reading all of the posts and learning from everyone else's experience.

One thing that I've been curious about is the significance, if any, of the different models of DD. Goldedge, Wonderedge, Satinedge, ad infinitum. Is there any difference in the manufacturing of the different models other than aesthetics or are the different model names simply like General Motors rotating different models in and out of its line up?

[thebigspendur]

From what I've been able to tell all the ducks, especially the Pearlduck models are basically the same except for the scales and decoration. The only exception would be the Wonderedge which is cryo treated and the stainless which is stainless steel and the styleedge which is meant more for trimming hair and some of the hair shaper models they came out with. Also some of the models came in certain sizes only and with certain tips-round vs spike or came more so in certain sizes and tips like most wonderedges are 5/8s spike and most goldedges are 6/8s round but there are other versions also.

Here's a Satin Wedge I picked up from a local flea-market. I usually clean a razor up before I hone it, but I got anxious to get this one shave ready and now I am reluctant to get the dremel too close.



It has a bit of rust by the pivot that I will certainly get rid of, but I will probably let the other aesthetic issues go as is for now.




It looks like an Ugly Duckling, but shaves like a graceful swan!
