Thread: Those Daffy Ducks

Just received this in the mail today....a Satinedge I got off ebay...in good condition, need to be re-honed. The scale is yellowish.....I'm not sure whether to do anything about it or just let it be...

Picked up my first DD today. looking forward to getting it on my face.

Pesa. These scales can be quite difficult so I would suggest you just clean them without removing any pins. Maybe a cotton bud or even dental wax can get into the awkward areas. The blade doesn't seem to need much more than a polish. A nice find.

I believe the scales are supposed to be that color.

Getting back to Ebay, my observation is that the Goldedges go for around the $200 mark - although not as good condition as Jamie's above. So, you know the kind of price you're looking at.

I bought my mint Goldenedge for $40 from a woman whose father and brother were barbers and collected straights.

They actually started thier life clear...over time they aquire the yellowish tinge. I had a case temperite that did the same thing.

Well after a little hiatus away I've rejoined the fold with this lovely 7/8th Round tip Dubl Duck. Given her a little polish and refresh with my pasted strops and will see how she shaves. Don't think she'll need a honing.



Here's another pic of the blade. Had a shave with it and she's a real beaut.

Now, that is nice. I like the size and the look.

Would love a DD of my own..gotta raise the funds first

I picked this ugly duck up super cheap rather than wait for a pristine example like the goldenedge above. It has a lopsided smile from what I suspect is an attempt to hone out a chip or just some really long term lop sided honing. It sure is ugly but she is mine until I can find something reasonable and pretty out there.
