I am going to interject my observations at this point. First of all I do not take pictures of every razor that has a problem. I have honed enough razors of various brands and quality to wear out around a dozen or so hones. I am seeing some of the newer Dovo entry level razors with lower quality characteristics. I have honed approximately 700 Gold Dollar razors. I have a rejection rate of about 1.7%. The primary reason for rejection is that the blade is too brittle and will continually micro-chip. I have experienced this mostly with the model 84 and occasionally with a 208. I have not experienced this problem with any of the model 200s. I chose to offer the Gold Dollar razors as my main entry level razor as it was the most economical and highest quality razor I could find. I occasionally have companies trying to promote new razors that send me unsolicited samples. (I interject at this point that I had a few Pakistani razors sent to me that will take and hold an edge. However; at this point I do not plan to introduce this line of products.) None of the samples have met the criteria of high quality and being economical as an entry level razor equal to or even close to the Gold Dollar line. I have bought a number various brands of entry level razors and likewise none in my opinion competes with the Gold Dollar line. To elaborate further about my feelings of the Gold Dollar line would violate the forum rules concerning vendors promoting themselves. I will add this, I appreciate these forums as it enables anyone the opportunity to express themselves.
