Ok CCR sent me 2 razors as you all know they were Gold Dollars. First it’s the good, the scales are not as clunky and obnoxious as before yet a rivet? The edge was alright, but it was not smooth till some leather. Had worse, had better, but it was shavable.
Now I won’t tell you the grind was acceptable, it was not, one blade hade a twist in it, and not a very presentable finish towards the edge. Now and this will be my honest opinion, if your wanting to convince me it’s worth 25$, then you should not have sent it with a frown that at the heel we no turns into heel hook.
In conclusion,( and I don’t want to turn this thread into a debate) I’m sure this got a few new guys started, yet I never see them as the razors they stay with, and at $25$, I got one of the best shavers in my den for 15$, several in the 20-30$ range and with out the Chinese lack of skill.
Thanks for sending and rest assured I’m being honest from my point of view. It’s a razor that after you work on it some it will shave, I was just surprised you sent me one with an obvious mistake on the edge.
Please know I am forwarding these razors to others so if it’s just my bias, they will let me know. These other guys know you can’t hurt my feelings as long as it’s honest. Oh and I did this reply before I started drinking!
