Gold dollar
Just received a new gold dollar razor from eBay. I bought this razor to practice my honing skills. Wish me luck.

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

I truly do not know why guys do this. READ the forum before wasting your time. You will learn nothing except that advise should have been taken before doing this and encouraging others to succumb to the same cheap folley. Originally Posted by Donboblo

I rest my case.

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!
Cheers, Steve

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
