I contacted Larry at Whipped Dog and told him what I was doing. He sent me one of his "flawed sight unseen" razors unhoned. If you do it this way you are sure of quality steel and no major problems like frowning, etc. This is better than trying your luck on eBay. IMHO YMMV
The cheapest Gold Dollars 66 model can have significant issues- the guys who are honing these can accommodate. It is a crapshoot whether you get a good one or one with geometry issues or a warped blade, etc.
Suggestions for practice razors?
