Thread: Can I sell a Gold Dollar 208? Noob

If it shaves, keep it. Some of those are good and some aren't. I've got a good one and use it often and they are also good as test razors. They are what they are

Some day you may find some crazy friend that thinks he might like to try SR shaving. Give it to him. If you try to sell it your going to loose money. Not a lot, but by the time you list it and have dropped the price to the point someone is willing to pay for a GD, you will be selling it for less than the shipping costs.

My first razor was a GD800 (the most expensive one of the bunch) that was professionally honed. Then when I wanted to learn how to hone, I purchased a few others others and used them as practice razors. They are now all shave ready and can give a decent shave.

I am going out of town next week and plan to take a couple of Gold Dollars with me for shaving. I do not want to risk losing or damaging one of my better razors during the trip.

Every time I purchase a new hone, I pull out out of the Gold Dollars and test the hone until I have a feel for its abilities. Of course, after testing a new hone, I do shave with the Gold Dollar to see if the hone helped or hurt the edge. Only after the hone has proven itself capable will I try it on one of my more expensive razors.

If I find someone who is interested in straight razor shaving, I will gladly give them one of my Gold Dollars to get them started.
