It is with great excitement, that we present the 2018 B&B Gold Dollar Mod Competition!
The objective of this competition:
Contestants have until July 1, 2018 to procure a brand new, carbon steel Gold Dollar straight razor(or several), and transform it from a dysfunctional, mass produced pile of steel into a sharp, gleaming work of barber art! (ZY's or the new gold dollars are also acceptable as long as they have a round point and no thumb notch from the factory).
There will be two classes this year, Unlimited and Novice. The Novice class is OPEN ONLY TO FIRST TIME MODDERS. If you have previously done any type of alterations to these razors please enter in the Unlimited Class.
Both classes are encouraged to post pictures and discuss your progress in this thread. At the end of the competition, there will be an official entry thread for each class where the membership will vote to pick the winners!
The winner of the Unlimited Class will receive this beautiful Tony Miller Heirloom Old No. 2 strop with handles and genuine linen!
The winner of the Novice Class will receive this 160 piece dremel accessory kit!
