I never got on that trail. Life threw some loops at me. Sickness in family, death of a best friend. Just had to put it off for a year or two.

I bought one and it was sitting on the counter while I was putting my wallet away. All of a sudden this mermaid comes riding up on a unicorn. Needless to say I got distracted when she invited me out...

I am sure the original process was very simple. Just not sure what that was and haven't even thought about duplicating it. (okay that is a lie, I do have ideas LOL ) What I can say is that any of the...

I kind of specialize in Ducks. You can go to my profile and see my personal 7 day set in photos. I also have some info on restoring Reapers in there somewhere. You may notice I don't always stick to...

Some are an experiment. Coat with stuff and see what happens. Some lay open all the time. They are safe believe me, I keep an eye on them. LOL you should see the other workbench. Specials all apart...

That is what I was saying. I have some originals with the color still in them. Black and gold.I got the day off,,,rain day.

So,,,, here you have some we can look through.

and up close...

Maybe a chemical type etch yes. Hard to describe really. It is just a dull even finish. I think the only color on Stainedge or Wedge razor were black or gold. I think blue was exclusive to the...

The tang is a satin finish and I have seen black or gold in the stamp as I can remember. There maybe some in blue. The confusion may come from restores calling the finish satin when you can clearly...

Hard to say without holding it but it could be all original or a darn nice restore. It looks to me like it has seen some buff. The thing about Duck tangs is the finish is the first thing to go. The...

Nice !! keep an eye on that Satinedge. The scales are awful dark. Think cool and dry for all of them.

And Chev that wedge looks suspicious too ! I know you keep an eye on yours. If not you know I...

yes it is sorry. Sent from my phone so I must have missed the reply with a quote button.

And it appears Chev has 1 too :<0)

Those are definately original scales. They have a sort of translucent depth which photos don't show. Nice grab. If you look back in the thread I have 2 posted and I think Spedur has 1 also :<0)

What you have needs more than a hone but it will shave again. The stabilizer will probably have to be raised some after you get that chip out so it doesn't hit the hone. You saved some in the...

Okay here is the picture in my mind :<0)

The space I refer to is where the blade goes in.

From top to bottom :
Satinwedge scales shrank so the blade hits the wedge.
Satinedge original...

Look carefully at the distance between the blade and the wedge. Most of the shrinkers < ( my own word) I have seen hit the wedge. You may want to make your corrective shim/wedge that CelticC shows so...

Celticcrusader gave you good advice. Just be cautious with the heat or I should say the amount of heat. They get supple easy enough and heat is a relative term. Too much and you may do more damage...

I just happen to know a guy that talked to a guy that had a brother who,,,,,,,
I know, I didn't believe him either but he sent some pics.

Here are some Ducks in a row of the wedge and lifetime...

The price varies all over the place. I'm talking e-Bay and in the wild. If you have to pick one over the other look for the best blade. A great blade is the rare part. Scales come along and all you...

Ummm Phrank, were you sleep bidding ? I got one of these after you pointed one out and even tried to get it for me. I have seen 4 so far this year. You should go back and look at the pics. It is in...

" If I may, I'd like to join the DD club. Just got this in the mail today... It's a Special #1 "


Special #1 is a great shaver . One of my favorites, you'll love it.

Both of those razors are wearing the wrong scales.

I got this a short time ago and just got it cleaned up enough to take some pics. I touched up the logo on the scales some, which was very tedious and stressful for me. I am afraid to do anymore as I...

Congrats ..... The Dwarf is a great razor. Heck all the Ducks are great. IMHO.

Yep looks like a winner to me ! It should say Soligen Germany on the other side of the tang which proves the box from Sheffield is not a match .

Not the original box. Come to think of it I have never seen a DD box. What I have seen is plastic boxes. Not saying they didn't have them I just never seen 1. bigspender might chime in here with some...
