Ultimate fantasy.

To find a s**t load of NOS Gillette safety razors, from the late 1950s, early to mid 1960's especially Fatboys/Adjustables and Super Speeds, in original cases, with manuals, never used, never touched, all sealed in boxes and boxes in some dusty old warehouse, long forgotten. When I was a kid, I used to love to explore lots of old abandoned buildings and houses. Sometimes there was some cool stuff laying around. I'm sure somewhere in North America there are some old unused stock sitting somewhere in a warehouse or somebody's basement. Just the other day I read a newspaper article about some guy was expanding his business, tore down a wall only to find a vault used to store furs and coats. The vault was climate controlled and inside he found a bunch of furs in storage along with some men's coats untouched since the late 1970s. Article below:

Or another scenario, sometimes businesses like pharmacies or corner stores that shut down in the 1960's early 70's from bankruptcy and other reasons would have some new old stock stock that was never sold and auctioned off. So let's say somebody bought a bunch of new razors in cases at one of these auctions, planned to sell them, but soon after, cartridge razors took off in the 1970's and that person, just forgot about them and had them stored in a garage or basement. Then over the years, the guy was so sick of being stuck with them, you found out about them and he sold them to you for a fairly decent price, lets say a $100 for the whole lot.

Or you could quit dreaming and make it happen... almost. Check out the antique stores and you will be surprised what you can get for $5 or less. I have a Gillette travel in the case with blades still in plastic wrap. It looks like it was never used and I know I did not pay more than $5 for it. I've seen lots of other razors that look new or nearly new, just keep looking.

Trust me, I've been looking and found some good stuff and good deals. Just would be nice to find one huge haul, like the guy who found that 3 gallon bucket of razors a few months ago.
