Right on, Bill. Pretty don't shave.

They are not hard to hone at all, if the seller does a good job of setting the bevel and generally fixing the razor so it will in fact hone nicely. In the raw, they are a bit much for some honers and...

Thanks. I am not really targeting those "experts". They know how to pick a likely looking vintage razor, or else they can afford a big name new razor. Those aren't the guys who will be drawn to a $25...

Bad news: I don't see any sign that my last two orders of GD66 are moving. These orders were placed with a Chinese reseller that has always given me great service and prices in the past, but the...

I thought I did answer your question. I haven't trashed one in a long time. Out of probably the last 100, that would be zero. Before that, mostly it was victims of overenthusiastic application to...

No argument here. Though actually I suspect that the old Sheffield producers made a lot more lemons that were discarded over the last 170 years, mostly within the first year. I am sure that they...

Thanks for your evaluation, TC. The unhoned one was luck of the draw. I did not think it would be fair to carefully select one of the best ones. The one that I honed likewise was just one of many,...

Yeah. That's because the geniuses at the company decided to laser etch "1996" on the tang instead of the model number, which is P81. If you go to my crescentcityrazors.com site you will see a typical...

More strops coming next week! Leather is nearly ready for final cutting and assembly.

I may make up some DIY strop kits. Hardware and a 3" wide strip of leather, you treat the leather how you...

Just arrived, new factory shipment of Gold Dollar P81 razors. I no longer have to worry about running out, so I am dropping the price to $30. Negotiating for a shipment of Gold Dollar 208 razors,...

By their very nature, "unbiased" and "opinion" are almost polar opposites. But nevertheless, let's do keep both GD bashing and hater bashing out of it. Don't fan the flames, please. This is a vendor...

To be fair, I think he has a point, guys. Now that things have sort of settled down, let's not throw fat on the fire. I appreciate the support but it's not really needed now. TC has both a honed GD66...

Cool. I wish I had one of the older GD66 to send you, the ones with the stamped tang. For comparison. Those are the real beasts. I got some of them from when I used to mod them a lot, but they don't...

Hey, that's not a bad looking mod.

Here's one of mine. I call it the Filarmonicadollar.

And here's a pair I did for the annual competition on B&B a few years ago.

Well, thanks for your support and confidence! And it might not find a permanent place among your nice vintages if for no other reason it simply isn't an attractive razor, but it is indeed very...

A somewhat experienced shaver doesn't need to pay so much, if he is honing his own razors. My price includes honing, domestic shipping, and a free re-honing and so it is a lot higher than from a...

Great! I see your order and it will ship out in the morning!

Quality has improved considerably in the last couple years. Would you like to try one, free, on me? Here is what I suggest. I send you one. You try it. If you don't like it, then keep it, toss it,...

With all respect, I assumed it was my website that was bothering you, since obviously I cannot by myself change a thread title.

If it is my selling of shave ready Gold Dollars that bothers you,...

Hey, I try to be a nice guy. Normally I do not allow anyone else to censor my own website but no biggie, I can do this. I would ask for one small small favor, though. In the future if you want me to...

Okay, Done.

Okay, point taken. I will edit the listing in the morning if it truly bothers anyone. I suppose we have a sort of dark humor here in New Orleans and throughout South Louisiana after surviving so many...

Made some strops yesterday. They are on the site now. Not exactly newbie strops, but let's just say they are economy models. More nicer ones in a few days.

LOL reference is to the ancient practice of applying a dot of TP to a shaving nick. Styptic is a better treatment.

Sometimes it's not just the toe or heel you got to worry about. Especially a SR...

Nah. We don't have any. Don't need it anymore with our newfangled Japanese automatic heinie-washer and blowdryer terlet seat. So, we find the current shortage faintly amusing but of no great...
