The model 66 is $1.88 and the model 300 is $5+( has jimps and a complete shoulder)

The minimum quantity is 1000 razors!

Anybody for a group buy?

Will they sell you or send you a sample before you commit to buying 1000 of them? I'd want to be sure the steel is actually worth a crap -- remember it IS actually "made in China" FWIW.....

I'm a nebwbie, but even I have enough of a case of RAD to consider oh, 50-100 or so of these (depending on the price of selected model), if they are decent --- even if the scales are crummy they are fodder for tinkering and customizing!

Nice catch! Anyone taking this to the next level?

If anyone wants to followup on this here is the contact info

The website has pics of the razors. Pay attention to the shoulder and the jimps.

OK, the scales are made by Gold Dollar, the Double Arrow razor is not. Double Arrow has it's own website (I have it in one of my threads on Shanghai steel I think...) and it's own razors.
From the GD website you can see their razors have GD tang stamps, etc. I believe it is a completely seperate entity.Judging from the lack of quality of the Gold Dollar scales that come on a DA, I don't think I want to try out the razors they produce!
(Actually, that's not fair, as from the pics, the razors look to be as nice as the DAs, as long as they use a similar quality steel, they probably shave fine)


I have contemplated ordering up a case of DAs though. At worst I could sell them off like stamps222 does at $9.5 each.
Or offer them pre-honed for an extra $20.....
add in a French, or Szechuan point for an additional $20.....
thumbnotch upgrade $30......
re-scaled in acrylic $30

Maybe???

I think it's time to get a couple of razors fom Gold Dollar for evaluation and find out what their minimum qty is. The way I read it the minimum is 1000 razors with 100 razors per carton. The price spreadsheet they sent had a column title of MOG with 1000 under that.
I will try and contact them monday.

The Gold Dollars like pretty nice to me.

If this gets to the point that the samples prove worthy, please PM me about the group buy -- I'd kick in for 25-100 pieces depending on price/model.

I purchased a GD from Seraphim which I received last week. The workmanship on the scales and modification of the blade are top rate. I figured, because of its reputation, that this would be a high maintenance str8 but it is not. I've shaved three times with it, stropped after the 2nd and 3rd time, and it actually feels sharper than after its first use.

In addition to the above, I love the feel of this str8. IMO, it has great balance and weight, substantial but not cumbersome.

Highly recommended.

Thank you Craig!

Pictures or it doesn't exist. LOL
Yes, Sera does some fine work. I always enjoy looking at his razors.
