Hey phrank,
i just spent the afternoon honing up a gold Dollar that I bought expressly to mess around with. Yesterday i ground the stabilizers off. It's ugly as sin but will hopefully work.
I did a few dry strokes and it seems to cut well enough.
this'll be the first razor I have done a full hone on from bevel to shave. I did have another but never got round to finishing it.
