    Yours has hollow grind like the one in post 21
    Here's the wedge grind with the original scales, blade finish and not much hone wear: Bresduck Inc "Lifetime - Wedge (Rooster)" 5/8 - Straight Razor Place Library

    I don't quite remember if I still have it or ended up passing it to somebody who appreciates it more.

    I just happen to know a guy that talked to a guy that had a brother who,,,,,,,
    I know, I didn't believe him either but he sent some pics.

    Here are some Ducks in a row of the wedge and lifetime persuasion.
    Lifetime hollow. ( original scales )
    Lifetime wedge. ( original scales )
    2 Special Wedges. ( original scales although I am suspicious of the cream colored )
    2 different models Satinwedge. ( 1 original 1 custom.)

    These are all different models. I also believe they are in time frame order. If you know the time frame is different, please speak up.

    Nice one, wish this one didnt have so much hone wear but it came with a bunch of freebies from a customer of mine with a grandfather who is a barber who had given them to him to give to me. All 15ish straights were shave ready and in great condition tho...no complaints here. Just hadnt seen any wedge variety lifetime ducks.

    Can I join? Satinwedge- Rescaled with Obnoixous Orange acrylic scales. I didn't like them at first, but they have grown on me. I just hope the old ones were damaged, and that these didn't replace perfectly good scales.

    Double Duck Lifetime, "Grim Reaper" - overall a smaller straight razor, but really gave a killer shave, very nice!

    That's the one from the thread you started called, "Reaper"...you were absolutely correct about the restore, except one thing the picture didn't reveal, a small crack on the original blade by the heel, otherwise it would have honed out perfectly. The scales turned out beautifully, polished right up, and thanks to 10Pups, he put me in touch with Voidmonster and he had a spare Reaper blade.

    It was a fun project, now it's in a box downstairs, waiting to get traded or transformed into a nice big Sheffield or two....I thought you knew...I posted it to the thread - apologies for not being clearer.
