Gold Dollar66 modification

[tomasTT]

Each year we run a competition where people modify a Gold Dollar 66 and make it into a good beautiful shaver. You might want to look at some of those threads. This year one of our entrants posted this summary of what is needed. INFO! - 2020 Gold Dollar Mod Competition *EXTENDED UNTIL AUGUST* - https://www.badgerandblade.com/forum/threads/2020-gold-dollar-mod-competition-extended-until-august.587517/post-10701299

Other threads can be found in the compendium of the previous years’ competitions.

Hopefully one of our experienced razor modders will chime in. Good luck!

Many thanks for reply. I saw it

A "dragster" style belt sander works nicely for getting rid of the heel. What is left, is a nice thumb notch. The sanding drum attachment for a Dremel works, too, but the belt sander works better. You want the dragster style, with the small nose roller. The original one is made by Black and Decker and is very good for this. Clamp it upside down in your bench vise. Be careful, just three or four seconds is enough to push the temper! If you see the dreaded BSOD, Blue Stain Of Death, you just toasted a GD.

There are many more modifications that will make a GD into a better razor, but this is the most popular one.
