Thread: The Tip Hotline!

Instead of creating a new thread for every hot lead I come across, I will simply post them all here.

Basically, when I've got time to kill, it has become a habit to check various sites & such for razors and/or shaving stuff. That is, without using the 'Bay Unfortunately, my purchasing power (fun-money) doesn't always match my desire/ability to find vintage shaving items. To restrict myself, I normally look for sales, etc., a short distance from where I live. But I figured that since I was "just looking" anyway, I might as well expand the geographical scope of my search by more than a hundred miles. And if I find something "worth writing home about", I'd post a tip on the forum lol . Just trying to PIF with information, since I have little in the way of shaving paraphernalia to send to noobs & such.

For the time being, I will continue to post listings here, from time to time. If I do not provide a link to a company website, I'll probably post an address/date/time. I make no promises of repeating detailed information, that takes even more time than I'm trying to kill lol.

My caveat!: I have a couple of core sources (call them "aggregators"?) that I use more than a few dozen smaller/obscure ones. I completely encourage everyone to join in on sharing the wealth of information & post listings they find, but don't feel compelled to attend! But... if you post one of the very few sources that I hold "close to the vest", I'll ask that you edit the post to omit info leading to the source . I even thought about hitting "report" if a post were to give something away, but our friendly neighborhood MODs may not look kindly upon my use of that button in such a scenario .

Let's get to the fun!

My next hot tip, for all those "Keen Kutter" fans:

This one is outside of Champagne, IL. I swear, it seems like someone walked into a Shapleigh Hardware store sometime before they closed up shop & said: "I'll take one of everything. Oh, and give me that Stockboy's apron, too!!!" 'Cause, yea, I'm pretty sure I saw a "Keen Kutter" apron...
