Thread: From the beginning to the end

So a had a chat with a old lady (90+) she and her past away hubby where Importers here in Sweden for Straight razors and mainly from Solingen. thay also had a honing/sharpening service for razors and sugical instruments.

when thay made there trips out to Solingen back in the old days thay went to the big razor factory owned by H.Eicker / maker of Heartring,PAX,Biedermeier etc. when thay went there for business the VD gave them a very cool framed "from the beginning to the end" with how thay made the Heartring 150 razor step by step. as a friendly gesture and as a valued customer.

Since her hubby past away 4 years ago and shes close to 100 she wanted to sell it to someone who will love it for what it is. and so am i the lucky owner of it now. i really love it. its very cool and a big + is im a sucker for Heartring razors.

Welcome to SRP, The frame is very interesting thanks for sharing.

That's really nice!

How cool is that to have hanging in your shave space. Man, love the piece of history, and more importantly the story that goes with it.

Fabulous piece of History.

Thanks guys. it sure is something special!

That is unreal. A genuine museum piece. I wonder if the lady knows anything of the history we are curious about, such as who Bresnick and later, Pearlson contracted to make the dubl ducks ?

Yes, I have a few of the "Puma/ducks". Great razors. I've suspected, going by some of the characteristics of the ducks, that Puma might have made them when they were marked Pearlduck (with no Puma marking). I've heard it said, I think by one of the old men working for Thomas @ Revisor, that Dovo made the dubl ducks at the end of the production. So much of the history is unknown.

yeah i wish to know more about them aswell
