Thread: Dubl Duck Shrimp? Who knew?

nice pumi ducki, Jimmy!

I don't have a Napoleon

As a matter of fact I've never even seen one.

The Puma Duck is a different case. It's really not a DD. DD acted as retailer for a number of other companies (especially in the early days) and the Puma Ducks were actually Puma's where DD was the retailer and so you have the DD or Bresnick logo on them the same as with many other razors where the retailer has his name on it and it has other markings relating to the actual maker. Maybe it's a matter of degree, I don't know since we don't know who made the DDs but the actual DDs don't have manufacturers names on them. All the ones that do are a different case.

I know we've discussed this before and we keep coming up with strange explanations for the Puma Ducks and the French Ducks and some others but it's really as simple as them being a retailer. I guess the same as later on when they had some sort of agreement with Beau Brummel.

I suspect that Puma made the dubl duck bresduck and pearlducks. I may be mistaken. It is just a gut feeling. I have four Puma/bresnick razors and looking at my other bres and pearl ducks I think Puma made them with whatever brand the importer wanted on them.

Blue Boar

Lifetime AKA Grim reaper
Lifetime / SE changable blade / shavette
SatinEdge
SatinWedge
SatinBaby
Shrimp
Special #1
StyleEdge
WonderEdge

Add the Stainless to that list and I may be wrong but I think there was a Twin Duck in there somewhere as well.

wow!!..so many shrimps ducks n dwarfs! (no punn intended)

Sounds like they should all come with a side of fried rice..lol
(trying to make a joke)

Yea the list is probably easily twice that long.
a few I can think of off hand:

Gold Mandarin
Single Duck
No duck with rooster on neck
a couple of hand forged wedges
another reaper-not lifetime
a couple marked just hand forged hollows.

Question..is it the scales that make one razor diff. From another if it's 1 company making them?...DD wonderedge vs DD satinedge..scales differ but blade quality is the same?

how is a 'Single Duck' a 'dubl duck' model?

These razor-makers clearly need to get their ducks in a row

Of course it's not. We really should not even use the term DD at all. We should reference it as either a Bresnick or a Bresduck or a Pearlduck.

When you look at them from the earliest models old Charley Bresnick wasn't sure how to name his razors. You see twin ducks and models with one duck and finally he started using the 2 ducks on the scales and then started calling them Duble Duck.

Is it silly to ask how anyone knows the Napoleon actually exists?
