My first ever razor find!

[taffy]

After using de razors for a while now i actually bought my first razor in a antique shop today i have never seen one before but there it was a mint cased british tech with un opened pack of blades in a shiny case for £5 which is now in my house, i also ended up buying a kropp straight razor which is in ok condition in a box for £5, this may not be headline news but its a first for me

And so it begins...

You'll hopefully hit the stage I'm at now, where I must put my foot down to avoid drowning in Super Speeds and Techs, and instead focus on boxed/rare razors and shaving accessories, like Old Spice mugs, DE blade stroppers, etc... I have more than enough shaving razors, and will soon need to sell some of the ones I have in order to have a displayable collection.

Right on man! Unlike others, I see so little shaving gear in the vintage shops that I will buy almost anything I find. If I ever saw something nice like what you found, I would probably drop dead from a heart attack.

I found a slim in a shop near me, well at least I think its a slim I can see through all the gunk, eew. The guy has $30 on it, I told him he's dreaming and offered him $5 (thought that was being generous), and yep, I don't have that razor.

Nice! Sounds like a solid score!

 

[ibrewbeer]

Sweet deal! Sounds like a nice grab.

+1.

Nice find. It's always rewarding for me when I rescue a vintage shaving implement from the confines of an antique store.
