This is the final GD66 available that was provided by @mark123abc0. It was very rare razor having slipped through Gold Dollar's very stringent and highly regarded quality control with a set of faulty OEM scales. I have corrected the blade's heel (being an older model GD66) and re-scaled the razor using European maple timber with brass pins and a lead wedge. This re-scale has also much better balanced the razor towards the pivot pin. This raqzor is supplied shave-ready to my standard.

Condition:
This straight razor is in new condition. The shave-ready razor has been used in shave-testing only and, when found satisfactory and then the edge has been refreshed. The heel/stabiliser area has been ground to a new profile to remove the stabilisers. The blade's finish quality is up to Gold Dollar's normal standard (which is not that high).
Note: This straight razor is suitable for a beginner into the gentlemanly art or a more experienced SR shaver.
Rules:
1. This PIF is open to P&C members worldwide.
2. You must have a member of P&C on 14 September 2024.
3. If any of the following P&C member win this PIF, they must return their previously won shave-ready GD66 to me for edge refreshing to again be offered as a PIF.
5. The winner is to pay postage within 72 hours of winning (see postal rates below).
4. This PIF remains open until the razor has been won.
How to enter:
This PIF requires some skilful guessing. I have thought of a number between 1 and 20 inclusive. You need to guess that number (a whole number and it is not 3, 8, 10, 14 or 20 that won previous PIFs). You are allowed multiple guesses however each of your guesses must be at least 24 hours apart. To win this PIF, just post "I'm in" with your guess of the number. [e.g., I'm in 14]. First to guess the correct number will win.
If you find that this SR is not for you, all I ask is that you return the razor to me. I will then refresh the blade's edge and PIF it to another member.
