This is the only one I have but don't know much about it.
Bresduck was from the era when Charles Bresnick owned the company and decided to use the DD logo. It's probably from around WWll.
The special #1 was made for professional use but was very popular and sold to the general public and was probably sold by the millions. It a good solid quality razor.
Could someone please give me info on this early Dubl Duck straight razor? Marked: Made in Germany 2 ducks Bresnick New York. Other side marked: Side profile of a China man Gold Mandarin Solingen. What is your guess on the handle?Attachment 235823
could you show pics of the other side of the tang and one of the whole razor? kinda hard to tell from that one snapshot
That's from the earliest days when Charles Bresnick operated his barbering supply business in lower Manhattan NYC. Many with that half circle were the lifetime series though I don't know if that one is a lifetime. Back then he sold razors made in Germany and in the U.S and if I recall correctly the ones made in Germany were about a buck more in price. It's probably pre WWll.

The Gold Mandarin was one of their rarer models. I have one myself. Be very careful with those scales, they are celluloid and have a tendency to deteriorate and give off gas which will rust the razor. I had to remove mine.
Could you guess the date of this razor. I know I cannot ask for an appraisal, who can I take it to for that? I am trying to sell it. Thanks again for your help!
