Lol, luck won't help you. What you need are muscles, patience, and fast 400-1k hones.

Oh come on fellows, if you're learning, you'd have to hone a thousand vintage razors to encounter all the defects almost every Gold Dollar has!

Ha my advise is get 2 3 files , Dremel , 220 / 360 grit stone snd other abrasives and enjoy your self ,practice your stroping skils with it as is dull as spoon . make from it something usefull at home - linoleum knife , letter knife ect .
Once you shave with it , youll understand what i mean . if you whant to use it buy a barber hone ,you must go shaving in the bathroom with a barber hone and a strop . Doesnt hold an edge at all . Shave half face - hone and strop and the other side after .
If you whant something good for shaving modifie the GD , sell it and buy your self a Yapenica razor - i have 2 and i prefer them over some solingens .
I have 3 quality razors. A Dovo and Ralf Aust I bought new. And I bought a boker and the gold dollar simply to practice technique before putting quality razors that I spent good money on to a stone. I don't want to shave with it. I simply want to sharpen my technique before my shaving razors need to be honed. Thanks guys
