Thread: I want two or three identical straight razors. Suggestions.

Probably not everyone's taste here, but you could buy a dozen Gold Dollar razors and then chuck the bad ones and use the good ones.
It's easier if you don't want new razors or such, because there are enough vintage solingen razors to go about.

I have to say, I have bought quite a few of the NOS Herder razors that are being sold on EBay. There seems to be no end in sight. They often go as inexpensive as $60 blade only, for perfectly ground, perfectly hardened steel with great consistency.

This might be an option.

Thanks for the effort!
They would have been perfect and well within the price range, but I blew it. I worked late last night, didn’t get back on the forum early enough, and when I checked eBay, they had already been sold.

As Sharptonn says, i’m not looking to put them on bevel setters unless needed. Hard Arkansas, Hard Jnats, Zulu Grey, and Couple of 15 K and above synthetics.

I assume he can hone in this regard.

Gold Dollars would be a bad choice to test finishers, IMO. Steel is crap......

You are correct, thanks.

Very interesting option.
