Offered for loan is a shave-ready (to my standard) re-scaled Gold Dollar 66 straight razor, finished on diamond pasted balsa strops. The razor has been re-scaled with wattle timber. This loan-out would be good for someone wanting to dip their toe into the gentlemanly art without a lot of expense or an experienced SR shaver who wants to try a diamond pasted balsa edge (not recommended for those use to a more "mellow" edge).
The minimum that you will need to shave with this SR is a shave brush, shaving soap and a leather strop or sheet of newspaper. Detailed instruction on use and care will be emailed to you.
