We all had stuff we were looking for a long time, we spent much time searching and hoping we get them.
For me, it took me months to acquire the two razors I now have in my collection from James@WolfmanRazors. Patience eventually paid off. This happened a few years back. I take great care of them, not because they were too hard to buy, but also because they look like jewels. And they cost me an arm and a leg. Except from these two, it took me some time to find an Aristocrat set in nearly NOS condition at a flea market. This one is gone, I sold it a couple of years ago to a forum member. I haven't regretted it so far, but I know I won't be able to find such a great example again at a bargain. I'm not really into vintage anymore, but I know it can get much harder to locate a rare vintage in immaculate condition and this can cost you a lot.
Which were for you? I'm talking about items you eventually bought, not still looking for them. Of course, the item(s) doesn't have to be a razor. It can be a soap, a brush or even some blades.
