I have, or had, three Ducks. One, a near-mint Goldedge, I lost to an unscrupulous eBay merchant…another story.
The second a beat-up Special Wedge that is SO beat up it's worth seeing just to emphasize how beautiful the razors in this thread are! I might try to do something with this one just because it's so beat up.
The third is a Special #1 that is quite solid and that I'm using as my first real attempt (after fooling around a while) with correctly and completely honing a razor.
Question: Am I correct that this Special #1 has a blued shank and I really shouldn't be trying to buff that off?
No pic of the lost Goldedge…sigh…here are the other two.
Lawson,
Yup, blued shank and spine.

LG Roy
Many thanks!

My one and only...a Goldedge procured from a generous member here at SRP a few months ago. Came shave ready and he wasn't kidding. Only managed to take 'er for a test drive yesterday - sharpest blade and most comfordable shave yet. Something special about this steel, that's for sure!

Hey guys! Love this particular group. The reason I love it is that the first two straight razors I ever laid eyes on happened to be Ducks, and I bought them both. One was a Special No. 1 that I paid $15 for, and the other was a GoldEdge that I paid $20 for. I sent them off to Bob Keyes and got them back a couple of days ago. Man, was I surprised! Now, I am sort of obsessed with finding Ducks. I tell myself, "The first two razors I ever saw were Dubl Ducks, so they have to be everywhere, right?:shrug:" Here are some before and afters.
P.S. I also posted these on B&B a couple of days ago, so forgive if you are seeing these twice, but I love the idea of a thread devoted to Ducks.

anyone have detailed history on dubl duck? i'm really into dubl duck razor and would like to know more about them. once all my ducks arrive i will have:
4 goldedges
3 wonderedges
2 satinedges (1 with clear scales with inlays)
1 special no1
1 plain scales with ducks with rubbish dubl duck blade with cracks and chips
and a few boxes
My Goldie Ducks..one spike, one round..
May I submit my humble offering to the club :)
A special No.1 as you can see from picture 1 (although not a good picture) a mucky state, however in picture 2 a much cleaner happier little water fowl, I am quite happy as when purchasing I thought it was gonna need some work, but I was wrong, picture 2 is after about ten minutes with some mass, there's still a little tarnishing neer the toe, but I'm thinking I may keep it, it isn't active corrosion from whatI can tell and it adds a little character.
Also as a bonus, the edge appears to be in great condition with a good bevel, which pops arm hair with ease, so I think after alittle more cleaning and wiping I might give her maybe 50 or 60 on my 12K and give her a try tonight.
