FL residents - Flea Market finds?

[neocaligatio]

Calling all Floridians - I'll be over in the USA next week and will be a few miles from the Wagon Wheel flea market and the 66th St flea market in Tampa, St Pete's.

Are flea markets with a trip for vintage shaving gear, fountain pens and such?

Chris:

The Wagon Wheel flea market is huge. However, I have visited it only twice and did not find anything of interest there. However, I have been told that at times you can find something. I have had better luck going to thrift stores and a few antique stores north of there (Hillsborough, Hernando and Pasco Counties). I have not been to the 66th St. Flea Market.

I hope you enjoy your visit here. Bring plenty of sun block. The weather has been quite hot with only a few showers. Good beach weather.

That's 20 minutes from my house...and off the top of my head...I can't recall any specific place that has razors. I must say that the last time I was there...I was not into straight razors...so I was not looking for them.
IF you want someone to meet up with ya, to walk around with...hit me with a PM.
The market is huge, so I am sure there are plenty of places with the item's that you seek. I have been thinking about a trip there myself...to see what I could see. I can pick you up as well...not sure if you have a ride? Might save you the hassle. Getting there early is a bonus...because the heat index has been 100 - 110 the past week...and humid.
