2015 B&B Gold Dollar Mod Competition

[Fordfather]

I ordered five earlier this week. Ive got no chance given the wonderful talent here, but hopefully the challenge will push me to greater heights than I would have done on my own.

That's the spirit! The gents are good at stirring up the constructive juices!

Huh, maybe?
Does it count if I just modified the point?
I got mines about a month ago.

So can I use a gold dollar I had honed previously but have otherwise done nothing to? If so I'm definitely in...I was planning on doing something with that razor as it was my first "successful" shaving edge and now just collects dust.
I've been wanting an excuse to breathe new life into it...

 

[GolFisHunt]

I don't see a problem with that. Have at it!

 

[beginish]

I can't wait to see what you guys come up with.

And a huge thanks to mbrando and The Restored Razor for supplying the prizes!

Hello,

You are very welcome. I'm anxious to see what people do too.

Don't forget to post take the before pictures so we can see what you started with.

A rare, behind the scenes look at a Gold Dollar Mod contest...

I love how Google gives me an ad for Thiers Issard brushes when I watch that video

I started one for last years contest but never got around to finishing it. I might have to see if I can find it and have a go at completing it.

What do you say guys-are you in??

I just got pif'ed a gold dollor 66. Just glad we have until July 1st. Now to come up with a design, make it, learn to sharpen, and my first straight shave. Other than that, this will be easy. I just hope to finish in the top 95%

 

[chongo gordo]

Okay, I'm ready to roll.

I've got 8 66's sitting around. Can't spend money on modifying them though, damn sabbatical.

Check with your sabbatical leader. This is a B&B sanctioned event, just like The Sue Moore Auction and Mr Bingle, both of which are open to sabbatical participants!

Jerk out the V6 and drop in a big block. Chop the top! Channel it and stuff some serious rubber under the back! A coat of Candy Apple would help too!
