The Straight Razor Forum is abuzz with anticipation. The stark raving shavers have clamored, and their calls for competition have been answered. But what could they possibly want? An Olympic event, that hasn't been recognized yet? The wetshaving version of Junkyard Wars?
It is with great excitement, that we present the 2015 B&B Gold Dollar Mod Competition.
The objective of this competition:
Contestants have until July 1, 2015 to procure a brand new, carbon steel Gold Dollar straight razor(or several), and transform it from a dysfunctional, mass produced pile of dung into a sharp, gleaming work of barber art!
Anything goes! So long as it is considered shaveworthy! The entries will be judged by the Mod Team, after July 1! Their top 3 picks will be entered in a Forum-wide poll, where your fellow members will vote for their favorite.
To enter the competition, contestants must meet the B&B 45/50 rule by the last day of competition. Contestants must also abide by the B&B TOU!
It is also our pleasure to announce that this year's competition has been generously sponsored by our very own, mbrando. AKA, Mike at The Restored Razor! Thanks, Mike!
First place is one 7/8 Brandonisio and Bro. Uno. The Uno is manufactured using US 1095 High Carbon Steel hardened to between HRC55-60 with a target of HRC58. The blade is polished to a bright finish. It will be blade only. No scales un-honed.
Second place is a compact barber's hone made of natural slate with nominal size of 4.5" x 1.75" x .375".
Third Prize - Urethane cast scales. Reproduction vintage scales.
