Hello all good people,
Recently I have purchased Duble Duck razor but I think it might be fake. Letters and duck signs looks like has been just manufactured. The scale is none of what I seen on DD... is this razor a fake DD?

Im not familiar enough with DD to give any sort of opinion about it being genuine or not, However I have bought many razors in the past with replacement/ wrong scales.
Its the etch that looks suspect IMO, Its too sloppy....
It looks like a special No. 1 with a re-scale job to me. I haven't seen an etching (at least yet, and mine doesn't have it on the blade) on a special but it look genuine otherwise. Hopefully bigspendur will chime in here.
It looks like the genuine article to me.
Is a re-scale,I think at this point there are no faked razors in the world,who would fake a $50.00 razor?
Profit margin would be slim and none.
That being said,the market is ripe to fake #14 fillys and giant W&Bs,look at the prices some idiots pay:)
Yea it's genuine.
It's kind of in the category of the Dovo Ducks and Puma Ducks and French Ducks. In this case generic German Duck.
You will notice throughout the brand history the duck logo differs quite a bit. I have always wondered whether they were applied here in the U.S once they were delivered or at the time of manufacture overseas.
OK,
I have finished 7+ hours of honing and polishing. OK, I need to hold my breath.... BLADE IS AMAZING!!!!!! I just don`t know how they did it..... outstanding! I feels like is almost not touching your skin at all but hairs are magically gone!
and that is why they are so loved!... just wait to you try a reaper. :)Quote:

You may be right. If you look at the ducks... One set is a boy and girl duck and the other set are just two ducks!!! Need to check which ones real?
OK, so now funny story.... Just morning for shaving I was looking for new not prepared yet razors for tonight restoration. During my research of my resources I have found razor "Wester Bros"-Anchor brand if i remember correctly. So I check the blade.... hmm looks like shave ready. I took it for test-100 laps on the strop and.... shock.... blade was really good, really I could say superb without even mine intervention (honing, checking, polishing). I must say that it is good blade. Really close to DD, not there yet but good. Does Wester Bros are good blades? This on is Magnesium steel.
Thank you!
I have several Wester Bros. razors and they are all good shavers. I'm sure the edge can be tuned to your liking.
