Thread: Gold Dollar or Kriegar?

Gasp. I never thought I would say this but use a disposable before the other two!

Instead of buying one of these. Throw a handful of cash out the window then take a piece of broken glass (preferably jagged) and try to shave with it. My first SR was a vintage from the classifieds. Its amazing, if my skink could handle it I'd do two three-pass shaves a day.

My G-d, man. What's wrong with you? First of all, I didn't think skinks had any hair. Second, why the flark are you shaving it even if it did? Third, WHY?

My mistake I meant skin. And I'd shave twice a day because I find it enjoyable and relaxing.

Lol I love this thead, My brother actually went out and bought a gold dollar razor with fake mother of pearl handles and its so heavy and dull. If I were you i would invest keep any eye out for flea markets and antique store razors, I recently picked up an amazing wade and butcher for 14.00 at an antique store shaves like a beast

It would only be a small handful of cash though - they're available for A$3.99 here is Australia with free postage!!
I've managed to get a resonable shave out of mine, but it took some work and it taught me lots about honing.
I'm eager to see what my shave ready one shaves like when I get it.
FWIW

People, it seems, have had varying levels of satisfaction with the GDs based on what I have read here on SRP. I have one that shaves pretty well. I would not however suggest a razor like this for a first razor because as far as I can see they are never shave ready and always require a good hone at the least. I would suggest finding a older shave ready razor, from the classifieds maybe and start from there. If you want to get a GD later to practice your honing etc at least you will have a measure of what a sharp razor is.
