Thread: The DublDuck Wonderedge myth

I took this from the verbage of a DublDuck Wonderedge sale on eBay. I contacted the guy and asked him to ask his uncle if it is true that what seperated the Wonderedge from a Goldedge was the Wonderedge is cryo hardened carbon steel.

His uncle responded that there was absolutely no difference in the steel or hardening of any of the DublDuck razors. He says the only difference is the handles!!!!! This is from Pearlson son himself! Still want to pay $400 for a Wonderedge? This one went for an incredable $560 and the blade is the same as a DublDuck #1 Special!

Dubl Duck Wonderedge 5/8 Straight Razor. BRAND NEW and in the original box. This razor comes from the private collection of one of the founders of the company. It is one of two of the only remaining brand new in-the-box razors in existence. (He didn't lnow it but this is not true!) Billed as the "World's Finest Razor" it is made of Solingen Steel which is the finest and best manufactured steel in the world. In 1957 my family closed Pearlduck, a business that was started in the late 1920's by Carl Bresnick and David Perlson, my grandfather. It was run by them and my two uncles for the entire time, although Carl Bresnick retired shortly after the partnership. The razor my uncle gave me to post here is in its original, unopened box. The photos are of its "sister" which he retains. As you can see, the polished brass and blade are pristine and the razor is perfect. This razor was probably manufactured some time in the early 50's I do not have a Pay pal account, so payment has to be made by check or cashiers check. Item will be shipped the moment you tell me payment is in the mail.

I am still enjoying the great razors from the Shaving Shop.

Treated steel; honed by someone who knows blades.

my special #1 has it's fingers crossed, but who knows. I need to get off my rump and send her to get honed, as I'm not ready to slap her on the DMT myself yet.

John,I used this info on another thread here(I credited you) very good info Regards GAry

Did he say who the original solingen manufacturer was?

Do we know (with any certainty) if the seller is who he claims to be (i.e the grandon)? Just curious -- I don't want to challenge anyone's credibilty, but this is the internet. Also the part in the description -- "Item will be shipped the moment you tell me payment is in the mail" -- seemed very strange to me, and raised my suspicions. Now that I think about it, that's is why it sold for so much -- no need to actually pay, just tell the seller "the check's in the mail".
