Here is a pic of my antique mall score for today. I apologize for the poor quality of the pic. The brush is an old Ever-Ready, which will be a great one for my first restore project. I got the Ever-Ready SE for cheap, which was great. The coolest find, I think, was the Personna '74 blades. They were taped to the English Wilkies for $5. There are 4 blades in the pack, and I can't wait to give them a go. I also got a couple of great cigar boxes that I will migrate my blade collection to tomorrow.
I saw several straights for cheap, but none really looked worth the cash. I did find, however, a couple of razors in different booths that raised an eyebrow. They had pictures of Adolf Hitler on the scales. I was taken aback when I saw the first one. Then I saw the second, which was literally a football field's length away from the first. They both had the Solingen mark on them, which just makes sense. But the price on these razors were crazy!
Anyway, it was a good day and I found a really fantastic antique mall with tons of stuff. I think I made out pretty well.

Best blade ever made, EVER! They may be stuck together. If they are, you can carefully remove that top cover and get at the blades. Dip them and the case in alcohol. Reassemble it and you should be good for 80 to 120 days of shaving on 4 blades! I see you already posted in the P74 thread. Oh and save the blade case, you can always reload it with more blades too.
