I don't know. I think they are fun to mess with. Blank canvasses. I was told to regard them as half-finished blanks and just go for it. My favorite razor is a highly modified Gold Dollar, shaves just as good as any I have, takes and holds an edge quite well. I have a couple that I am working on myself, hoping to get results like that. I think it is cool to be able to take a "razor shape object" and turn it into something nice with just my own two hands, a piece of wood, and a scrap of brass. Here is one of my projects in progress.

One of these days I will mess around with some vintage razors that need restoring. But these $4 razors I can get a little crazy with if I feel like it. I don't feel like I am wasting my time with the GD. I already got one that shaves great and looks great so I know it can be done. And it will be cool to shave with a razor that basically, I made out of a razor shaped piece of steel from China.
