569 Dubbers Str8 Razor
Has anyone here heard of a Dubbers (2 dots above the u) str8 razor? On one side of the tang it reads '569 Dubbers' (with 2 dots above the u) and on the other side it says 'Finest Sheffield Steel Forged & Real Hollow Ground In Germany'. I Googled it but got no useful info on it. I picked it up at a local antique shop for $5.00 because one of the scales was broke. I just Super Glued it back together so I could clean and hone it up to use until I can make a set of scales for it, with the fancy spine I'm thinking Brazilian Cherry. Will post picks when finished. BTW it's not a bad shaver.

Well guys, I finished that Dubbers but due to equipment (planer) access was unable to go the Brazilian Cherry for the scales. I had some Bubinga laying around already the correct thickness so I went with it instead. Sealed them with 2 coats Min Wax Natural Finish Stain followed by four coats clear satin then finished with Turtle Wax. Now instead of just shaving good it looks good too! (Sorry about the bad pics, its one of those rainy, dreary days so lighting sucks)
BTW, I saw another Dubbers for sale on eBay this weekend, including mine that's only two I've seen so these babies are extremely scarce if not rare.Last edited by DoughBoy68; 03-15-2010 at 01:47 AM.
