Very nice!! Looks like you got a good one there. I also wanted a Dubl Duck for the longest time. Then I stumbled upon a big smiling Sheffy and fell in love. Those spike points and me don't get a long. Maybe down the road I'll change my mind and HAVE to have one of these. Again, nice blade!!
Burls, Girls, and all things that Swirl....

I stumbled upon one (although mine's a Special No. 1) here locally and really like it, even though I haven't properly dialed it in honing wise. Congrats man!!

Congrats man. I thought about bidding but saw the crazy activity and didn't think I had a chance. It's a good looking razor!
I love living in the past...

Congrats on the DD, I scored a regular one hand hammered tang from a local pawn for $12 but doesn't look near as nice and those square points will get you so watch it. Looks like a lot of the gold is still there, Nice!

Yea - bidding went nuts this morning, first time for using Ebay for me, so I set max bid not really knowing what it did (now I know), but came away with a reasonable price from what I've seen!

Nice work! The one in the last post has a fair amount of hone wear and a frown! Not a smile! Frown bad
smile good! 
Looks as you made a good choice.
Yours looks much better! Aside from the wear on the blade and improper honing on the second one, see how the scales on yours are more white compared to the yellowish of the second one? Cell breaking down is suspect. Whiter, the better! Those shave great, although I cannot tell a difference between a Wonder, Gold, or #1! Good shavers!
