    Default Two Golden Men from Pakistan?

    I got a straight in a lot of DE's the other day. It is etched with the words "Two Goldenmen Special Quality"

    It is made in Pakistan so I am not thinking it will be worth anything other than something to hone my honing on. If it is a beater I could practice technique without worry. However I just wanted to make sure it is worthless before I get to grinding!

    Yeah, it's a Pakistani. I wouldn't use it as a benchmark for honing skill either. If you can get it to the point it shaves, you've really accomplished something.

    No I was thinking more about just general technique. It is a shame as it is a nice size blade. It is the second straight I have owned. Well at least I have something that I won't care about to practice on

    Actually I think you have a great idea there. Use it just to perfect your technique in stropping and honing. Once you have the general moves down then gravitate to an Eboy special which you can hone up but is still not a valuable piece but still quality.
