Gold Dollar 7/8 Straight

I just received this Gold Dollar razor from China. It is a 208 stainless model. I really don't know much about the GD except that they are cheap. This one was advertised as shave ready. I took it for a ride today and it did pretty well. It could probably use some more time on the hones, but for now I will wait on my paste and give it some strop time.

Update: Saturday, March 4

Saturday Straights: I had planned just to use the H. Böker 5/8, but I got a new Gold Dollar razor in the mail yesterday, and so I incorporated it into today's shave. It did pretty good. It is a 7/8 stainless with the number 208 on the tang.
