This one shaved as well / better than some 10 times its value (post custom point and honing).

Woe is me!

If it'd ease you mind at all, I'd trade you another honed GD for your Palmera, or Dorko 300....




EDIT: I'd even throw on a new set of scales too!

Wow, over 17 thousand reads!

This is actually was a really good read. Apparently there was a lot of pent-up demand for reasonably quality inexpensive straights. I have to travel a lot and never felt comfortable leaving my dovo in the hotel room.

I use my Gold Dollars more than any of my other razors. I enjoy using them more because I feel freer to experiment with honing methods, re-scaling, grinding, etc., since they're so relatively inexpensive. If I ruin one of them, which I have done, I haven't lost a whole bunch of money.

I waited a long time to get that Dorko 300. That's not one of the blades the GD outshines ...


But maybe I'll send my GD back to you for a set of scales anyway....
