Learning to hone on a razor with geometry problem is probably not the best advice. it is wonderful that you like your GD and can enjoy the shave, that said you can put ivory scales, work the spine, goldleaf it, and in the end its still a GD. I dont see anybody given up their Friodor or
Doble Temple to get a GD. Besides GD have no soul........

The problem with the GD razors on SRP comes from exactly what we are seeing develop in this thread, they are inconsistent therefore the back and forth begins with "They are great shavers and you can learn stuff on them" -vs- "Better then half of them have serious issues that require that honing must start with a Dremel"

Therefore after countless debates hashing over the exact same argument all the GD debates have been moved to this thread

It started in 2008 it has 5 + years of the same statements over and over and over so please stop saying the same things here in this thread.

Thank You

Thanks Glen, I agree.

It seems that whether a Titan or a Gold Dollar we are talking about inconsistent cheap razors.

If you want to experiment with a cheap razor try a GD.

For the cost of a Titan, I would rather pick a vintage razor of known quality.

Just my $0.02

Why doesn't the GD cause this kind on insanity on other forums? It's like bring up religion or politics here.

Who knows and at this point who cares. They are not everyone's favourite flavour is all. That is normal in most things.

My answer would be that it is because SRP values expertise over soapboxes for everyone.
But I'm sure that you will find alternative answers, especially on other forums.

Lonerider, I hope you don't misinterpet my intentions. I thank you for your candor and efforts!
