Estate Sales

[diamondtim]

My wife and I went to an estate sale today and picked up the following:

A Merkur Progress Long Handle razor
An Art of Shaving Pure Badger brush
A chrome razor and brush stand
And a ceramic lather bowl w/stand

Total damage $3 USD [emoji106]

The stand is worth at least that. I fear that’s what will happen to my collection. Estate sale for 10 bucks.

You should be ashamed of yourself stealing from some poor widder woman! But at least she has 3 dollars that she needs more than shaving gear.

Actually, I bought it from an estate sale company that bought the whole household from the family. They are also selling the house.

Oh! Then you should've just paid $1 just so they learn not to rip off little old widows anymore!

My three sons are already wet shavers [emoji41]. I hope they will divide my razors and blades between themselves (and maybe a future SIL).

Thank you.

If you don't mind shaving with Dead Man's razors. Estate sales are a good source of finding vintage razors "in the wild".[emoji610]

Three's the number them - as do I. They already have the basic gear, but likely no clue that a cased Toggle might be worth flogging off ..

Plan ahead. Get your sons and daughters into wet shaving. Or befriend a young man and introduce him into the world of the clean shaven. [emoji6]

Tim I was just having a little fun at your expense. You made a great score! No need to feel bad about that.

 

[Lefonque]

Not for me. Dead men's razors. I couldn't do it even with my own Grandfather's razors.

No worries, my friend.[emoji846]

It's good to let the new guys out there know what is available "in the wild" if you're patient and know where to "hunt". [emoji6] Ask your dad, grandpa or uncle if they have an "old school" razor that they don't use.

No need to pay through the nose to someone on ebay who did what you could do.

Why? Are they haunted?

[Lefonque]

Not taking any chances.

I went to a huge multi-floor antique store in my neighborhood a few months ago that was going out-of-business. Not a razor in sight. I hadn't been there in a few years, but I never remember seeing any razors.

I haven't gone to an estate sale in years. When I did, I was looking for vinyl records.

 

[dmshaver]

Nice score! I’ve found a few razors at estate sales. Few & far between, but enough to keep me hunting.

Great. That leaves more vintage razors for the rest of us.[emoji846][emoji610][emoji6]
