Thread: Dubl Duck Models

I have noticed that there are several different names for Dubl Duck. I've seen "Winder Edge", "Gold Edge," and "Satin Edge." Are these different names for the same razor or are there real differences in the blades? If there are differences, which would be ranked the highest? The Wonder Edge?

Just curious as to the nomenclature.

Thanks

DD has a long complex history. There are many many models. The Wonderedge was probably their top of the line item at the time it was made which was late in the company history.

Just for curiosity would you happen to know the years of production for the various models?

Thank you. Just got a Gold Edge in off of the "site which must not be named." Pretty but not shave ready.

Thanks...was just having this discussion with a friend, we couldn't decide what was considered the premium model, aside from the Lifetime I guess.

I thought the Satin Edge was the top, with the Goldedge next, and then the Wonderedge? I literally just got the Wonderedge I scored off eBay awhile back from being cleaned up and honed.

So the Wonderedge is the top Duck then...?

I have used a few different models of these Ducks. I can say with most certainty you can't tell much of a difference other than that of the width. There are differences it's just not that easy to see/feel them. The one exception to the rule is the SatinWedge which is a special grind which is not really a true wedge. More of a wedge feeling but not quite. It has been said that the Wonderedge is made from a harder steel however a Perlson family member said this is not true. It seemed harder to hone to me but ??? To me the Satinedge is the finest Duck to use in any width but it's all in my head I am sure.

1 more thing.... I believe many manufactures made different Duck models for Bresnick and then Perlson. As far as I can see they are all from Germany. Some blades may be thinner than others and this is what I feel in the Satinedge. I have yet to take a few to Nasa to have them measured so this is just what I am guessing from feeling and using the different blade models.


Was just thinking that the life span of this company went through a few wars. Very possible that some models came from allies during WWII and such. I am investigating all this and someday hope to have a story to tell :<0)

Gee 10Pups I didn't think you liked Ducks?

Good to know....Valery said to me the steel was much harder and the blade much heavier on the Wonderedge than the Goldedge. The blade of the Goldedge is paper thin, very extra hollow ground...which for me translates that it's cursed.

Funny you should mention the Satin Wedge...guess many, many months ago, I picked up a Satin Wedge off the Classifieds here, think it was Earthdawn who owned it, and he told me it was restored or owned by Don (??) at SRD previously. It's a really beautiful blade, in great condition, and is the one Duck I truly like...yes, it's a small near wedge, but it handles great and really performs well....and our friend Gssixgun (Glen) was the person who honed it for me many moons ago...

To further confuse the situation for the OP I will add that I made mention > ***the SatinWedge which is a special grind*** There is actually a Specialwedge model that is older and of the examples I have of those 1 is a Pearlduck and the other a Bresdnick Dubl Duck. Bresduck being the oldest. I have never heard a definite description of what a Dubl Duck really is and or is not. I am working on that too :<0) For now I would say if it has 2 ducks on it and the name Pearl or Bresnick,,,,It's a duck for sure. I have some razors with ducks on them but how the ducks got there or why I do not know. We won't even go into the rooster thing. I will say the Twin Ducks are the same as a Dubl and therefore qualify as part of the family.

I have a Winder Edge........just saying....
