I find that kind of funny because I think the 208 is neat looking in that retro-wannabe-tacky sort of way. I've considered the exact same thing. However, I'm trying not to feed the RAD too much or I'd try to get them all... like Pokemon or something.

I think this may have to be one of my next razors now...
The only thing holding me back now is the thought that I could pay 20-30 for a vintage blade and get the DA another time when I've got more cash lying around... It may stil hold me back, but my resolve is weakening
.
So can any of you guys comment on edge maintenance on the DA's that are a bit warped and/or the ones that are smilers?
I've got no problem with the idea of doing a rolling X when honing the razor for the first time, but if these puppies are fussy durng each touch up, that could get old.

I have never come across a GD/DA that had any warpage to the cutting portion of the blade. All if the issues with misalignment have to do with the tail and tang in relation to the body of the blade. That is only an issue if you are going to re-scale them. Originally Posted by SavantStrike

They do have a smile to them, so you will have to roll when honing, or whatever your method of choice is. Also you may very well have to do some bevel re-setting ti the heel/shoulder area of the blade.
Do it.

I was bored and needed something to do. The sound track is Arvo Part's Kyrie from the Berliner Mass. It adds major drama to the parlor trick.
It's hard to tell in the video, but the Gold Dollar 66 was cutting the HHT fairly well. I knew it would shave based on my experience with that test and my hair.
Best of all is when the hair just falls away rather than pops. The Gold Dollar was almost there but just short. So the shave was very good but not perfect.Last edited by matt321; 11-13-2009 at 02:00 AM.
