    If there were a way to inform them that the least expensive route is probably go to the classifieds here and get something inexpensive but worth owning!

    With a bit of literary license applied...There is hardly anything in the world that some man cannot make a little worse and sell a little cheaper and the Newbie who considers price only, is that man’s lawful prey.
    The easy road is rarely rewarding.

    Yeah, but WAIT! At a dollar apiece, I can go through 300 GD's to your one 300 dollar Henckels!
    That's it! That's the ticket!

    Tom! I cannot believe you mentioned my beloved razors in a Gold Dollar post.

    Yes Bob. You may want to keep it, no doubt. I don't know why you would sell it. I know why I sold mine. It wasn't because it didn't shave really good (because it did) it was because I started collecting a specific brand so I sold most of my others off. I gave the Gold Dollar to a friend (if memory serves me). I must say that even though it had its issues I have experienced more warping and geometry issues from old vintage sheffields then I did that GD. You should definitely try one Bob.

    What a curse be a dull razor; what a prideful comfort a sharp one

    Would she turn her back on a Gold Dollar ? No,,,,,, she would welcome all razors.
    I've welcomed more than a few to my garbage can.

    Good thing I have yet to find a specific brand that I would prefer over others, some day may be. Yes, I have had the same experience with old Sheffies in particular and others also. When I feel that I need more challenges than I already have a Gold Dollar razor should fit the bill nicely.

    I would not advocate a Gold Dollar razor for a newbs first taste of shaving with a SR though. Especially one that has not been sorted out beforehand by a competent honer. Some of newbs are just bound and determined to learn by making mistakes regardless of any advice given to the contrary.

    Just curious, how much do these gold dollars usually run?

    I must admit I have been curious about these. At some point I may delve into the world of Gold Dollars. In the mean time I have many vintage razors that need my attention.

    Don't spend more than a dollar, then!
