Thread: Modified Gold Dollar

Boy are you guys going to be surprised when you figure this all out. I'll be reordering from Gold Dollar in the near future. If there are enough guys wanting to do a group buy thing. I could tack this on to my order. I'm also going to be ordering a couple additional models in an addition to the normal entry level razors. Newbies need to be aware of what work these razors need when they show up. Gold Dollar says they are ready to use. They obviously don't use them. When I prep these for sale the heels of the razors typically extends below the edge and requires grinding to bring it line with the edge. I usually have to grind down the excess on the pins and then peen them. I take the sharp edges of the back of the scales. I make sure the blade closes properly. If it doesn't I'll make the adjustments so that they do. They ones I reject for scale reasons I'll rescale the blade. Sometimes the blades are not acceptable, I just write them off. The Gold Dollar is a good razor, just not ready to use of the boat. It is still the best quality entry for the price I can find.
I'm not afraid of competition. Thanks to my loyal customers, I have plenty of business not only in start-up sets but in strops, honing and in restorations.
