Fixed up Duck

Yesterday I received a Dubl Duck Goldedge in the mail that had a rather large chip missing from the toe of the blade. I didnt polish the blade or anything, I just removed the entire toe of the blade, rounded the spine back over a bit, muted the squared point, and honed it. I havent shaved tested it yet, so I cant comment on the shave-ability of this one just yet. Anyway, heres some razor p0rn to show the resurrected Duck.

Looks like the best thing you could have done, Tex. It should make a good "shorty" !

Well given the reputation of these Ducks, Im hoping this one turns out to be a fine shaver. The blade isnt as short as some of my others, but it is a damn nice looking razor.

Nice work indeed, shorty's are a blast to shave with!

Now you have a Bresduck Dwarf or a Pearlduck Special #1. Same blade (.010" thick) w/ shorter cutting edge length and usually more plain jane scales. You have the nicer scales, and it should shave like a house afire.

looks good .. all my ducks are good shavers and im sure this one will be also !!

Im not sure of blade length on those others Pinklather, but I just measured this one and the shortened blade comes in at exactly 2 7/16" on the cutting edge.

Anyone know roughly how old these things are?

my
Bresnick DWARF= 2 1/2"
Bresduck DWARF= 2 7/16"
Pearlduck Special #1 = 2 13/16"

not that it matters but i like to shave with my DWARFS !!!!

Hot damn!! Im gonna pretend that I knew the length of the Dwarf going into this and that I planned it that way. Haha. Just yall dont go telling anybody now. :hmmm:

a little info on the quackers ..
i have bad eyeballs but yours is a Pearduck ?

Yessir it is a Pearlduck. I assume from that information it's between early 50's and late 70's. not as old as I figured but still a really nice looking razor.
