I picked these up fo r$10.00 today. I'll post more pics after they ar cleaned up. Right now that Black Handle FT is just plain NASTY!!!:
Instead of Antique Stores, I'd like to find a "junk shop." That's a manly place to buy a razor... The antique stores around here have doily topped tables and teacups and definitely no razors.
OK, what is "FT?"
Actually the brush is in decent codition! Well, sorta.
I will be using the toot brush for cleaning razors only!
Started cleaning the FT and 90% of it came clean. There is a lil pitting/rust, but I have that covered.
I find most of mine in the antque "malls" You would be surprised how many show up when you ask about them. Most just dont have a spot to put them.
Nice score, let us know how that razor cleans up
Now that I've started looking for razors at antique stores, every time I say the words "I love antiquing" out loud, I immediately feel the need to go out and strangle a grizzly bear with my bare hands just to regain a little manliness
I guess I need to amend my earlier statement: I very rarely ever find anything at antique "stores". I always find something at the antique "malls" (the places that have tons of glass cases, and many many vendors).
just out of curiosity, is there anyone from the greater lincoln/omaha, NE area that knows of good antique malls where this stuff can be acquired? Aardvark in lincoln is pretty good but there's too many hat pins in the glass cases and not enough dangerous metal implements....
