Thanked: 10I need to work on my honing, and after reading this thread it seems like I can't go wrong with one of these to practice on. Is there a model that people are favoring more than the others? Are the stainless models harder to hone, or is it about the same?

Thanked: 25Gold Dollar Shipping Confirmation
I received confirmation this morning that the razors were shipped on the 7th.
I will start a new thread with pictures and pricing when they arrive. There are eight names so far on the PM list. I will PM the list in order and offer the choice of what is left no limit as long as stock lasts. The remainder will go on eBay.

I have shaved with my Gold Dollar 66 a few times now. The blade was closing very close to the scales on one side, so I used a hair dryer to heat up the scales while held in alignment with some match-stick wedges. Then I doused it in cold water to fix the alignment. That worked great. The scales were a little loose so I peened the pins. The pins seemed unusually hard and I had to use more force than usual, but it's nice and tight now.
I honed it with Shaptons from 2k through 16k. Then I made a dozen laps on 1-micron film. Then I stropped on hard felt with 0.5-micron diamond. Then I stropped on ChromeOx loaded linen. Then 50 on linen and 50 on leather. It passes the HHT with ease. Shaves have been very nice. Right up there with my other razors.Last edited by matt321; 11-11-2009 at 10:39 PM.

If this thread goes to page 25, I might have to start seriously considering getting a 208...
I saw them a little while back and thought, hmm, I like this, it's tacky.
Yeah... Still liking it...
