I decided to take a little detour today from my usual rounds on my day off, so I stopped by a friends' place of business. It just so happened that he set up his little upholstery shop next to one of the oldest barber shops in my little town of Wiggins.
Well I pulled up there and below and behold what do my wondering eyes see? I was the owner of the little shop and he was unloading a collection of shaving equipment that would make a man weak to his knees. He had over 100 years of shaving history under glass. I was held in awe. I was able to pick his brain about some wonderful little DE strops and some automatic str8 razor stops, he had 3 or 4 Rolls there, one of which was in very good condition. I had to pry myself away from him so he could pay the man that hauled the collection to his barber shop. I could have stayed there and talked to him all day.
I took a few pics. I hope they are to y'all s liking. Enjoy

I want a YAWNMOWER!
Very nice collection. Thanks for sharing. My barber here in VA has a similar display case, though the collection isn't as impressive. Nonetheless, I somehow knew when I walked in the door that I'd found a winner.
