The Chinese have a way of buying raw materials from countries turning it into more valuable resources and then selling it back to countries around the globe, a great concept if you want to build your economy, not so great when you are the ones supplying them with raw materials. I have decided to turn the tables on them, I am using their Gold Dollar razors, converting them into something else and then selling it a a higher rate, watch out Jack Ma, you are going down bro!
I love Gold Dollar razors and I don't hide this fact, if it was not for them there would be way less folks trying out this great way of shaving, they are not bad blades either, they tend to be a bit softer than most vintage and handmade razors, but there has to be trade-offs in this price range. They hone easily and I mostly take them up to a quick 8k progression and where they are quite comfortable. a Gold Dollar blade is cheap to buy, cheap to maintain, but...... if you buy a RAT you will have a unique razor at that!
This razor has a blade that has been blotched and darkened a bit to give it a kick-ass ratty look. We have also added some patterns over the blade to get rid of the clean, smooth apperance The blade sits in Buffalo horn scales with brass pinning and stainless steel washers.
The blade is shave ready. The razor weighs 64 grams and has an 6/8 blade size.
