Hey gents,
Just wondering if you guys could help me fill in a list of the Dubl Duck line from most expensive to least expensive. I think it starts like so:
1. Grim Reaper, Lifetime
2. Wonderedge
3. Goldedge
4. ?
5. Satinedge, Satinwedge
6. Number 1 ?
Corrections, additions??
The Satinedge falls in just above the Number One. There is also a Satin Wedge, which I guess would fall into the same place; I don't think I've heard of any other wedges. Then there's also the Lifetime, which I'm pretty sure is just below the Grim Reaper, but might be above.
Thank you, sir, I'll update the first post! Any others to add, or correct?
Oh right, there's also the Dwarf. Not sure where that would go for price, maybe about the same as the #1.
Ah, and the Style edge; I believe these are only 3/8. Not sure where they would go either, but I'd guess somewhere at the bottom.
The Lifetime is the Grim Reaper, as far as I know. "Lifetime" written on the scales in cursive; the grim reaper figure is on the bolsters. The idea being that the razor lasts you a lifetime, with the grim reaper thing being a play on that.Quote:

Good stuff, guys, thanks! I'll update the first post soon...
What we call the ducks were actually produced by 3 distinct companies. bresnick, bresduck and pearlduck. Most of the ones ending in edge were all pearlduck. However when you look at all 3 you probably have well over 30 different razors. Its hard to say which is better because for instance the Wonderedge was the best made by Pearlduck but the reaper was the best made by Bresnick-Bresduck. So you would probably have do split the list among the 3 companies. Also there were big differences between the early ducks and the later ones and actually the very early ones weren't ducks at all. Ducks came later.
Ducks also seem to come with different blades with the same model number. I have 2 Goldedges, one is 7/8 rounded and another is 6/8 spike point blade.
Also, don't forget the Beau Brummels.
Well, shoot... With how complicated this has gotten (and make no mistake.. I *do* appreciate all the info!), and the current price of ducks on the bay, I think I'll spend what little cash I have on HAD for now. :)
I don't think ther is a number 4; however there is a stainless on. Lifetime and Beau Brummel were just other brands that they made. These are ranked in order of appearance as there is NO difference in the steel used to make the razors. This information came from Pearlman himself.Quote:

No disrespect meant but what yer saying needs proof, something more than an un-substantiated e-bay seller saying these things....
I'm sure I'd be unable to find the thread if I tried, since it was in the old BST, but I was previously told that the No 1, Satin, and Gold blades were made from the same steel while the Wonderedge was different. I'm not sure about the others.Quote:

Yes, yes, you are absolutely right I made it all up. I should have known you guys are too smart for me when everyone knows a Wonderedge is really worth more than $1000 and the wonder metal was produced by special order by a guy named Wolf.Quote:
