New razor from China not a GD or is it?

[buca3152]

I ordered 2 of these today from ebay, they look to be better ground and scales LOOK better than stock gds. they are also listed as stainless, I have no idea if they are though. Anybody ever use these before? I will check em out when they arrive. Heres a pic
Pricey! $9.99 each! LOL. If the scales are better then the gds I would be happy! No affilitation with this company or any other BTW.

Its called a ZY 430 plus. they have a few more on the site,

You're a sucker for Chinese steel!

Pull yourself together, man. and get a little dignity will ya?

I would be happy if china just made nice scales for cheap to buy. It isn't like the templates are not out there. That one actually seems to have potential.

Someone needs to mail an ator to the gd factory. Mimic something awesome

the description makes it sound as a competitor to Gold Dollar

Good Luck

Nice find, it does have the look of a re-badged GD but a re-badged GD with better QC and acceptable scales for $10 would be a fine thing.

 

[Seraphim]

Those scales look just the same as a GD

Appears to have potential. Looks like you could just pick it up and hone it with no issues. Well, of course a dovo best also looks like it would have no issues, too, so I guess we need a couple of mikeys to try it out.

Oh, WTH, I'll bite.

God luck with that one.

Wow they are all over that popular auction site for 8 bucks, 18 with wooden box.I pulled the trigger on 2, as well as a GD800 which I have never tried.

I wanted an experiment razor so I ordered one for $8.92 shipping included. Not much loss if it turns out to be useless.

Have you ever tried a gd before?

So tempted.. If I had not just won another dovo Bismarck on a auction site...

will be be interested to see how they perform though.

I've got a GD300. It performs as it shall, but I can't say that it compare to my Swedish, German and French razors. Even so I won't put the Dremel to one of my Heljestrands to try out a design idea.

Dremels are kid stuff. Real men use a belt sander and 60 grit.

I've been a teenager for more than 35 years now, so I guess that a Dremel is just about right for me.[emoji6]

You might not, but Seraphim would if you loan him a pair of MK32.
