    Default Beau Brummel Razors!!!!

    Two new ones for the collection, I just finished polishing them up, not too much to do on these actually, just some quick polishing and they needed to slide over the hones and strops.... Unfortunately it is my beard trimming weekend so I don't get to try them out until Monday morning

    These are both stamped Beau Brummel #35 and Brummel-Werk Solingen
    Here is what I found so far on the brand...

    BRESDUCK INC.
    224 Canal Street, New York City
    Also used trademarks "DUBL-DUCK", "LIFETIME", "NAPOLEON", "BEAU BRUMMEL", "DEUTSCH", "SATINEDGE"
    ca. 1930 - 1952; firm became known as Pearlduck in 1952

    The first one has the black and yellow scales and has a 5/8 spike point blade...

    Nice Glen!!

    I have 2 Beau Brummels and both are some of my favorites. They really are great razors that don't get near as much the credit. I think the Dubl Ducks keep these razors in the shadows. Thats okay though, more for you and I

    But in some ways this is a bad thing, because if I have more than one of something, that compulsive part of my personality kicks in, and.... I want MORE MORE MORE!!!! (Sung in my best Billy Idol voice)

    Actually beau brummel has an interesting history. Originally they were sold and distributed by a variety of sellers in the U.S. Bresnick sold them along with the Vesuvius and Napoleon and a few other brands. After WWll Pearlduck became the exclusive distributer for beau brummel and you will see those razors have on the tang, instead of beau brummel Werk they say beau brummel razors, Jamaica N.Y. The Box has the same address as Pearl Duck. So the question is, did beau brummel manufacture all the popular DD razors during the pearlduck era?
