Those Daffy Ducks

Well lads it appears that with all the clubs here we somehow missed the true Double Ducks. So as the official high mucky muck of the Boker Brotherhood and Case Collective I hereby dub this the official Double Duck Fan Club and grant it members all rights and privileges the aforementioned clubs! I have recently acquired a DD #1 that is at Simon's so will post some pics as soon as it returns to the fold. In the mean time lets see those beautiful Ducks. Also perhaps if we are lucky thebigspendur will grace us with pictures of his beautiful collection. And last but not least thanks to gssixgun for coming up with the name. Have fun Gents!!!!

This is the one DD I own...but she cleaned up pretty nice:

What a beauty!! love those clear scales. Keep it up fellas got a ways to go to catch the other Clubs!!!!!

I had just looked in here yesterday and couldn't find a duck club!

All you get to see right now are my two oddities. In addition to them, I've got a dwarf, two #1's, a wonderedge, and several sizes and shapes of goldedge that all need some cleaning up.

[sorry for the crappy pictures]

The first oddity I present to you (and I know it's odd when Glenn had never seen one) is a French Duck, the 58. Yes, that's right, FRENCH. I know, I'm scared too...

The second, is possibly odder. I thought I had a Satinwedge, I really did. Then when it arrived, I looked at it and the blade was hollowed... and the tang reads satinEDGE. Even weirder, the blade is NOS and after discussing with Glenn the rivets appear to be original as well. I present to you, the Frankenduck:

This concludes your visit to the freakshow. Come back tomorrow to see the Bearded Lady! (she won't be for long!)

**EDIT** I should also point out that to date (I admit I haven't been at this very long, but...) this is the only french point DD I've seen.

I knew I would find a use for it sometime. :tu

My newest Duck. Although the box is marked as 5/8" it's actually a hair over 11/16".

Overall pristine condition. only thing is, the washer on the backside of the hinge pin has pulled into the scale... that leaves it a little loose and prone to not close straight, need to figure out a fix.

That is an absolutely gorgeous Wonderedge!

I'll throw a pic of mine in too.

It was my great grandfathers.

Firstly, a new pic of my Satinwedge/Satinedge Frankenduck:
http://farm3.static.flickr.com/2303/...f7068b07_b.jpg

Secondly, a new and better pic of my Wonderedge:
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3253/...60a5ab4d_b.jpg

and finally, the TWO Goldedges I have in rotation. These were a couple of my first, and they still need to be cleaned up. I just can't bear to stop shaving with them long enough yet.
http://farm4.static.flickr.com/3162/...7784dc00_b.jpg

I posted these pics elsewhere in the forum, but here they are for posterity! 6/8+ roundpoint. Really lucked out on grabbing this one from the bay.

Well, by popular demand I finally had the time to take some quick and dirty duck shots. I left out the usual supects since you have seen them all alread though I had to include a Wonderedge since no duck shot is complete without them. So here goes: oops only ten allowed so I'll do the last two in another post below)
1-what I call the lifetime rooster, totally blued razor
2-The grim reaper
3-the twin Duck
4-The Wedge
5-The special wedge
6-What I call the two duck special. It just has two ducks on the shank and no model name
7-The stainless Duck
8-Model 29
9-The beau brummel Duck. I call it that because this is one of those that pearlduck had the exclusive sales for the U.S and the address for BB is imprinted on the shank and it is the same as for DD.
10- The vesuvius
11-The Black Diamond
12-The wonderedge.

One of these days I'll have to take some better shots.

here are the last two. Oh, in case you want to know the background for the pics were my Japanese vinyage finishing stone for the base and my Belgian Blue for the back.

Thanks! I've been hearing about this collection for some time now! :tu

Thanks for posting that wonderful collection it will be a great help!

OK that Vesuvius is going on my must find, must buy, list hehehe
Very nice collection!!!!!!

If you see a Napoleon stay away. I would kill for that one!

Here's my one and only Duck. I got it at an antique shop for six dollars. HEE HEE HEE! I spent about 20 min polishing it up, it has some pitting but ain't bad for the price. :D

I am honing it up now, I can't wait to see if it lives up to the hype!

Hype? No Hype they are super shavers and the Special #1 is probably the best model to start your collection with as it bridges all the ownership of the DD line from bresnick to bresduck to pearlduck.

Enter the Tufpug.

before there was the Dwarf there was the Shrimp and before the shrimp there was the tufpug. A small 4/8s razor with bone scales. I haven't honed it yet but you get the idea. Not bad for $27 including shipping eh?

I'm not sure what the thing that looks like a hole in the blade is but it ain't on the razor.

I was watching that one on the bay. Looked cool, but I had to pass. Looks like it went to a good home.

How did you find out so much about Bresnick/Bresduck/Pearlduck?

Basically just from collecting them the last few years. After you start to line up about 20 or so vintage ones you can see the history right in front of you by the names and models.There was a guy here a while back who had an old vintage catalog. I don't know what happened to him.

come on gentlemen step right up, step right up. A troubling situation has arrived in the razor club and that is the use of thumbnail pictures. I know that some of you old timers still remember when the razor clubs were a thing of beauty! with large glossy pictures of razors and we viewed until our hearts content. but those days are through it would seem. I beseech all the members of the razor clubs to take the poll in the general section and vote to restore large pictures to our beloved razor clubs. It is up to us gent and together we can restore these clubs to there former glory!!!!!!

I humbly beg the indulgence of the most honourable & esteemed Brotherhood of Daffy Ducks in order to seek enlightenment upon the history of the manufacturers & models of these most illustrious blades.

My grandfather possessed one blade, which he called Bruce. I never understood it either :shrug: He said it was all the razor a man would ever need & that if I so desired I could have it when I needed it. He hadn't used it since his retirement from the Royal Navy in 1955. His beard was biblically prodigious by the time I arrived Unfortunately my father got hold of it when Ran passed on & it disappeared along with many other significant items.

What is known of Bruce? Not an awful lot. Ran told me it was Duck. It had gold shank & tang. The scales were, best I can remember, undecorated red brown semi tranclucent horn of some kind. It was was acquired somewhere around 1932, I think. Where? Not a bloody clue gentleman. He served all over the globe & as a Captain from 1930 & collected as he travelled.

My questions for your amusement & consideration are these.

When were Ducks first & last produced?

What sequence did the various Ducks appear & disappear?

By whom & at what times were they made?

Sorry to be so abrupt honourable squires & please feel free to remove this to a more appropriate locale if deemed necessary by the hallowed inquisitors. If this information is available anywhere please let me know.

In the mean time kind sirs, I eagerly attend your response with a keen eye on the bay & elsewhere for my admission to the club.

Many thanks

Spike

My little project right now a Dubl Duck Special Wedge which had a major case of rusting. I had to take the flap wheels to it but I think she turned out ok. Got to love blury ebay photos.

I thought I knew just about all the ducks and nicks by now but new ones keep popping up. I just got this one. Think its worth 37 bucks? A little stain on the blade but otherwise its in pretty good shape.

Natural carbon steel eh? Better than that artificial stuff, that's for sure.

Goldedge with great box, box not in photo.

Dwarf that i just bought a few weeks ago. got it cleaned up tonight and will test shave tomorrow. had a huge frown, at least for such a small razor anyway.

vgod

My only DublDuck... I really like it and hope to grow a herd soon, I like big families :p

Had no idea the Black Diamond was a duck. I sold mine a few months ago.

In fact, I think it is back on sale at the B&B BST.
