Ebay, or the classifieds, fact there was one that sold today i think, also maybe your local antique shop perhaps?

They're not too easy to come across in good or NOS condition. I have one now but it took me a while to find it. It's in my album. I believe it is an 11/16ths.

They're no longer in production. You can check Ebay and some restorer's.
Here's one for you: dubl duck Goldedge - Soliongen, Germany (Wide Blade) - Detailed item view - Our Online Shop

I'd say your best bet is looking locally. There are tons of DD's out there, so you're bound to find one sooner or later. My best advice would be don't fall into the trap of spending too much on one. They are nice shavers, but they are also very common.

Probably on Eboy there are dozens of them at any given time. Many like the Special #1 were very common razors.

Be careful who you send it to for honing. I have a "near mint" Dubl Duck Goldedge, unhoned, that still had the gold on the tang and was beautiful. Sent it to an unscrupulous merchant (not a SRP vendor!) and never heard from him or my razor again. I'd had two previous transactions with the guy that went fine so I had no reason to suspect him. But he has not replied to e-mails, eBay vendor messages…I'm thinking of making a call to the police station in his town just to see what happens.
I guess he liked my Goldedge too much. They seen to make people a little crazy. That started me on the habit of fully photographing every nice razor I buy. I imagine it's already for sale somewhere.
If you find a nice one, be careful to send it to reputable, reliable people for any work done.

This is true. I was fortunate to find a good craftsman and have sent him @ 6-8 of my razors to be worked on over a period of months for various reasons. He never disappoints.

Are they significantly better than other vintage Solingen makers?
Has anyone used an unbranded vintage blade that just has 'SOLINGEN' stamped on its tang that shaves as well as a Duck?
