Okay, so we all know that Gold Monkey razors are made by Gold Dollar in their Ningbo factory. I was interested in the backstory of the brand. I even reached out to the company with a list of questions and they only replied that "Golden Monkey is also our brand". The scales are imprinted with "Jinhou" and Gold Monkey seems to translate to "Jin hou", and reversing it gives "Golden Monkey" so I am wondering if the Gold Monkey brand is meant specifically for domestic sales. The two popular models in this brand are the regretably named "666" and the "777", and at least one user on the forums has told me that the 666 is better than the 777. It also apparently is slightly cheaper.
Could be that the Gold Monkey brand was originated by the Gold Dollar company. Or maybe the brand was absorbed from another company that sold out to GD. I can only guess.
I know that the Double Arrow was made by the same company, before the Gold Dollar brand was established, but that brand is no longer made. Gold Monkey, where does that fit in? I don't think it is a predecessor of the GD brand. It seemed that GD appeared as the DA brand was phasing out. I never heard of the GM brand until well after the GD brand was established.
Does anybody have any useful or relevant information? inquiring minds want to know. Thanks.
