Thread: Yet Another Youtube Shaving Video. One Pass, GD66, Lotsa Whiskers.

Here's how easy it is, when your razor is sharp.

This certainly is a good response to the idea that a GD can't shave! Of course, it doesn't help that so many people sell "shave ready" GDs on Amazon and eBay, which I suspect are not even close to properly honed.

Hahaha i saw a post from you earlier saying you were saving up your whiskers for a GD shave video, i was expecting like a quarter inch of stubble.
That was intense man

To all the Gold Dollar haters, that'll learn ya.

Mine was for honing practice mostly but it shaves very well.

A TRUE hater will hate it even more. A true hater is much more comfortable about sharing his world with a cheap Chinese razor that will NOT shave, than with one that will. Showing it doing its job as good or better than the average $100 razor won't make those guys accept them as "proper" razors. And that's okay. We don't have to like what we don't want to like if we don't want to.

Then you got guys who just go along with the hate and howl in the chorus cause they are not actually familiar with the razor. When the proof is right there before their eyes, they can see and accept. They aren't true haters. You just gotta show them.

Clearly a fake beard. How much did you pay him to make this video?

I bought 3 Gold Dollar 66's for just messing around with honing and such. Yes, they're not as refined as the typical Solingen offering but in terms of actually shaving with them, they take an edge just as well as anything else. Blindfolded no one could tell.

I wonder if he get get more junk hanging on them there bib overalls?

Saving up some whiskers?!?! Man that's not "some whiskers". That's a full blown hockey playoff beard.

Aloha!

Ha. Reminds me of my grandfather shaving with his old Solingen when I was a kid. He wielded a fast blade on his course beard too. Styptic pencil at the ready because he did cut himself frequently with his cavalier style of shaving. I would not have been surprised if I saw sparks fly when he shaved.

Yep, I have three GD razors and I've honed every one to a nice shave finish. My red scale model actually DID come shave-ready, but it still IMO needed a 12k hone finish. I have long suspected that even when they actually DO come so-called shave-ready, it's a 4k/8k Norton type hone. Just a hunch.

Anthony Esposito (The Stallion) loves his GD shavas.
