So as I was about to leave a little dissheartend from the Antique fair as it was pretty scarce of vendors due to it being Easter(yaay!) as I was exiting there I see on the table a cased Fatboy. So with a little pep in my step I decided to go to the otherside of the fair and there I scored the cased Hoffritz slant minus one blade holder. Then another Milord? and two superspeeds. Oh! and two Gillette blade holders. These picking expaditions can be like this. Dry for a month then bam. You score a couple. A good day.
Went picking. Scored. Yaay.

Nice score.
That Milord would not happen to be a W2 code date would it?

I'd call that an amazing day in the wild.
Very nice! I think that qualifies as a little better than an "ok" day picking!

HOLY MOLY!!
A Hoffritz in the wild with a case!!?
You hit a honey hole!
That Milord is looking pretty nice there! The Fatboy looks like it was hardly used too!
Slam Dunk dude!!
is that how you found everything or did you do a clean up?

That's weird. No date code. It's wild card. Make it any date code you want
Is this a Aristocrat jr?Just scrubbing bubbles and some Mass on the Hoffitz. It's what I call in vg-exc condition. Also on the Milord?
Otherwise everything else is as I found it. Shot some scrubbing bubbles on it & that's it. Easy clean up all around.

Nothing like that around my neck of the woods!

Very Nice Bunch of Razors
Way to go! The only thing I have ever found at a Flea Market is one Lady Gillette.
I concur with bakerbarber: if I found a cased Hoffritz slant like that, I'd have to hurry back to the car so I could roll up the windows and yodel!
If I found that, I'd rush and buy lottery tickets!
Man-o-Man that is an awesome haul!!

Thanks guys! It's been a dry month so this makes it ever sweeter. Never shaved with a Hoffritz. Looks intimidating. Looks well built. Like a hammer.

Excellent. If I cant score a nice haul, it always picks me up to see pictures of someone else's score. Thanks
Well done. Very well done indeed
Simply stunning...I'm so jealous. I love the thrill of the hunt.

If the Milord's center bar is notched with NDC, then you have a 1948-50. That can be narrowed a bit more with a peek in the head with doors open.
Also do not let the looks of that slant sway you. All the slants I've used seemed on par with a '48 Aristocrat.
And congrats on the nickel 1958 TV Special Super Speed.....or so it seems with my tired eyes....lol.
