Thread: dubl duck Special No. 1

The outfit was started by Charles Bresnick in the 20s. Those razors are just marked Bresnick and many were unmarked as to origin. I suspect those are American made. At some point he became enamored by ducks and started making razors with one duck on them then he increased it to two ducks and called them twinduck. He then changed the name of the company when he moved from lower manhattan to Midtown manhattan and called it Bresduck and from that point the DD logo and name were used.

My understanding is Pearlson worked for him and bought him out in the 40s and of course renamed the outfit Pearlduck and most of the names we are familiar with are from the Pearlson era. Pearlson moved the outfit to Jamaica, N.Y and I walked by the store almost every day on my way to school never knowing......Oh the agony.

Pearlson forged a relationship with Beau Brummel and became their exclusive distributor in the U.S. Eventually Pearlson sold the outfit and it moved to Garden City N.Y as a general beautician supply outfit and was sold again as a pet suppy outfit somewhere north of NYC.

These days I don't know.
