I have honed up >30 or so Double Arrow/Gold Dollars. Most are very capable shavers, and take a nice edge, but every now and then I seem to get one that really is super-nice and smooth like a fine Solingen. I had that experience just yesterday. I really had a fantastic shave, as good as any other out there. I can't therefore claim Gold Dollar razors overall to be the bee's knees, but I certainly can claim that particular Gold Dollar as being a singularly nice shaver.
Just saying...
