Had to do it :-(

Bought a Gold Dollar...had to find out for myself just how these things fare...not expecting much, but hope to get it shave ready, then I will sell it on for a huge profit!

If you get it shave ready it will shave as well as any other straight razor, a sharp edge is a sharp edge and a name is just a name, good luck. P.

Which Model did you order?

One of our members, @Fergiebilly, loves the Gold Dollar. He says once they're honed correctly they're just as good as any other SR.

I have two Gold dollars, i got them both on ebay together for next to nothing, they are both excellent shavers, one i just keep in my travel kit, no big dramas if it's lost or confiscated, and the other i ground down to a square point and made some nicer ash wood scales for, for little projects they can't be beat and they do hold a bloody good edge.

Some of the Current Gold Dollars Like the Gold Dollar Classic for Example are Ground as Well as Current Solingen Razors Like Dovo Etc...They have Upped the Mark on the General Quality & Quality Control of their Razors....No Doubt about that...And Yeah they Have a Very Robust Shaving Edge...Good Steel...

I remember seeing a thread on B&B that has the members buy a cheap Gold Dollar razor and then morph it in to something spectacular. The logic being the Gold Dollars have a good 'base' from which work from:

I prefer the model 208, little more expensive but less work to get it flat on the hone
