My vacation road trip took me to Abilene, KS. It is a small farming community of 5,000 off I-70 about 2 hours west of Kansas City. I was curious to see what I would find in the local antiques stores (there were 4 we checked) and pharmacy (I really wanted a root beer float at the soda counter!).
Well, we found a few straights, a couple of brushes, and only one miniature DE in the antiques store. By miniature, I mean that it was no longer than the last phalanx of my pinkie finger. It did have the original case and several spare blades, though! I passed. I wonder if dealers realize that there are better ways to make a buck if you have a DE razor to sell.
In the pharmacy (OK...soda shop) I found 99 cent Williams ($1.59 in FL), no DE blades, injector blades, Norelco rotary blades, Remington microscreen replacements, and cartridge stuff. I thought I might find more old school products, but was disappointed.
