Dubl Duck Wonderedge Re-build
I have begun to call these re-builds because they go beyond just restoring the razor..
This one is from my good friend Gugi, here are some before pics...
A during pic, you might want to note the rods holding the inlays in place as the epoxy dries...
Now I can't believe I didn't think of this before but it came to me when I got this new pearl White acrylic that the Wonderedge razors actually started off life White, not the Yellow/Gold that we see so often now... So on this re-build I used the White Pearl, I polished out the blade and put in all new hardware....

Sweet!
I do like DD's, they're just great looking razors and shave really nicely!
Great job Glen!

You know, Glen, when I first saw you say, they were white, I thought to myself.. no way...
But, I took the set I'm currently working on to a belt sander. There is some faux MOP 1/8" stock beneath it for comparison..
There may be some truth to your statement!!!!

Yeah there is some truth
Every now and then you will see a true NOS Goldedge or Wonderedge that has been tucked away somewhere safe, and they are White not Yellow...

Very nice work Glen.
I don't think many people know the scales were originally white.
