SOTD THURSDAY MORNING, AUGUST 12, 2021
Today’s shave featured my Dubl Duck Goldedge 11/16 (Mug) and my father’s Gillette Slim (Dome). Charles Bresnick founded Dubl Duck as a Beauty Products Company about 1930. (Razor brands Satinedge, Wondered & Goldedge). He imported his razors from Solingen where they were apparently subbed out to various manufacturers like Puma, Dovo etc.
One source claimed they were all manufactured in the old Dovo Works that were destroyed in the bombing during WW2. The company was later purchased in the early 50’s by a guy named Pearlson (Brand Pearlduck). Regardless of the confusing history, my Goldedge is a remarkable singing razor. It holds a great edge and delivered a very close smooth shave.
My father owned two Adjustables, the Gold Black Beauty, his regular razor, and this Gillette Slim which was his backup. While I’m not a fan of the TTO head design of either safety razor, it’s nice to shave with it and remember him, a retired Marine Gunnery Sgt., and a great father! He passed at 99 in 2013. Two ATG passes and I feel cool, clean and velveteen!
