    They did stop making straights at about that time, but I'm fairly certain the company still produces (or at least produced for some time after) shears and other barbering equipment. Whether or not it continued or is still under the name "Dubl Duck", I'm not certain.

    I don't know any of this for certain though. Anyone care to confirm it?

    They marketed their barbering items under the pearlduck name. I haven't seen any listings for them though on the web so who knows.
    The last I could find they were located in garden City, New York. I suspect they are defunct at present.

    I don't think anyone really knows much about their earliest razors. I suspect the lifetime razors predated the double duck series and later the double ducks replaced the lifetimes and the grim reaper models were their top razors at first. I've never seen a lifetime model with the pearl duck logo.

    I just picked up a wonderful Beau Brummel...you mean it was made by the same company that makes DDs? That would be kewl, especially considering how little I paid for it (although the handles were shite)

    The was a company called beau brummel Werk in Germany and they manufactured most of the Beau brummels you see on Eboy. I think the DD Beau brummel was a model they produced but I have never seen one in the flesh only from old catalogues. I suspect DD made many models of razors that are long gone and we just don't see. We see the most popular and newest ones.

    Of course most of their razors were made in Solingen and we don't know who their suppliers were or even how many they had. I gues its possible Beau brummel Werk was one of their suppliers, who knows. I have a Bresnick Lifetime with a blued blade which makes no reference to Double Duck or where its made and has a Rooster on the blade.
