Dovo Inox 3/8 Wedge. The steel and the grind makes a challege to keep sharp.
I think that most of the negative GD66 comments come from those who have not tried the more recently manufactured ones.I get some of the GD comments, but it's almost not fair to crucify it if the razor can be bought for under 10 bucks and honed into a usable shaver.
Other than that, no dog in this fight. All my SRs are vintage.

I have bought six GD66s so far this year and all but one honed up easily. They all took and hold a very good (excellent?) edge. None had geometric problems or required any heel work. One did break. It was not 1m drop proof onto a cement floor . Must have been faulty.
For $10 I’d rather buy a vintage and restore it. I also have no dog in this fight. Mostly vintage, 3 new razors (Aust, Koraat, Maggards) all are great.
I've been amazed at some of the blades I've got my hands on under $20, just takes occasionally scrolling a little - once every week or two and you'll spot at least a couple things a month - which is dangerous!Point me to the $10 vintage razors rhat are worth restoring please!!! Deals can be had occasionally, I know, but I'm not seeing much out there without major blade issues for under 20 bucks. Sure, if you're OK with loping off 1/2 inch of blade and making a shorty, or spending an eternity honing out chips or a bad frown, then $10 vintage razors are available. Then and only then.
