I am generally a vintage SR shaver. I hone my own razors as well. Lately, however, I've been thinking of buying a cheap Gold Dollar just for fun and seeing if I can do some modifications. I note there are several varieties of GDs on the market. Is there any one that is better or worse than another?

Ask me about shaving naked!
The Gold Dollar modders here seem to like the cheapest and beefiest one, the 66. The 208 is what I usually buy but I'm not modding them.
They're very cheap, so get a few of each.

As stated above, the 208 is the best if you want to do minimal work, but the 66 gives you more material to work with if you like grinding. It is also cheaper if you mess it up.
Personally, I would pay the extra and get a ZY. It has a better grind, but still enough meat to carve.
