Isabella looks like a great helper!

Here is the dirty secret about Gold Dollars…

Yes, they DO shave. They shave pretty OK. They are cheap razors with poor heat treating and grinding but yes, they do shave. If you like Harbor Freight tools and are OK with just okay tools that need to be corrected and at best will work okay, then a gd might be just right for you. On the other hand, if you would like a better tool that works better and lasts longer, then buy a better razor.

Oh, and congrats on the better razor!
