My reading comprehension skills seem to be lacking, you are quite correct. $50 for a Gold Dollar, is scandalous (IMHO) and given the choice between that and the Dovo, the suggestion has merit. Apologies for jumping to conclusions. :)

Just bought and received this "shave ready" gold dollar off eBay...Attachment 165078
It is a great shaver! 4 passes, right out of the box!! Very nice shave. The guy does great work!
By the way it's one of Jeff Pratt's.
I too ordered a Jeff Pratt Gd and two other ones from another vendor. I have no plans on shaving with them but his will be a benchmark and the other two will be what I use to learn to hone on.
I have a new dovo from Lynn and several shave ready vintage razors now but I don't want to mess any of them up trying to learn. So in my mind these are the cheapest option.
