Thread: The addiction is real

Welcome Garnerpw!!!

The first step is admitting you have a problem
This is a hobby that can get out of control fast, but worth it in my opinion

Enjoy and have fun!!!







No offense meant, I am a 12 stepper and friend of BillW

And don't come here looking for help with your addiction. Just a bunch of enablers here!

Funny. Glad to see I'm not alone

One nice thing about this type of addiction....it can be very cheap or as expensive as you want....lol.

I never said I had problem. Though my wife may say otherwise.

Pssssst. Hey buddy (he says...opening his jacket). Wanna buy a Wade & Butcher?

The Dubl Duck company, Bresnick, and Pearlson, names may be off a little, were importers. They did import a lot of German blades for sure, but they were not a German company. There were a few importers that had very nice blades produced for them. Other companies that did similar are C-Mon, Hess, and SRD, there are likely others too. Also there were a few large hardware establishments that did similar, like Shapliegh. It is an interesting area with no real records, and a lot of hmmmm.

Hey, I don't have one of those yet.

Thanks RezDog, that's good to know. Now that you mention it, I do believe I remember reading somewhere that Dubl Duck and Pearlson were importers. Like I said In my post, I've only been into straight razors for a short time. The vast majority of my research has been limited to Sheffield razors. I only just recently started to venture out into other areas. There is so much to learn, I don't know how you can keep it all straight in your head. Anyway, I do appreciate you taking the time to help me.

We in part learn from each other. Most of what I know I got from the interweb, and a giant chunk of that here. The other names I mentioned you might want keep half an eye on. They tend to sell fairly low and are top shelf razors. The SRD or S. R. Droescher, are very good and often go for very little.
