We've all endured the goofy looks.
When you tell someone you collect razors or even just use vintage razors they look at you like you're slightly kooky.
BUT - let me tell you it's worth the kooky words to get the message out there that you are looking for these things. It pays off sometimes. Many of my collection I have acquired simply by word of mouth from people in my extended circles.
Exhibit A....
A guy gets in touch with me me because he knows through a mutual friend that I collect vintage razors. It seems while he was taking out his garbage, HE FINDS THIS ON THE GROUND BESIDE THE APARTMENT DUMPSTER. IN THE SNOW. AMONG SOME TRASH.
Sends me a pic and asks if I want it. Do I ever.
This is after a very light round of cleaning. It was in great shape to begin with.
I cannot believe even an uninformed person would just chuck this out. Can you imagine all the ones we don't save? sigh.
