Dear antique store razor sniper, please feel free to take a break from your purchases

I've been to a number of shops in the past 2 months and always hear "someone just bought them all yesterday" lol.

...end of rant

That seems to be the standard reply around here also. I suspect they say it to make sure you come back often hoping for razors. I've had them say "I just sold a bunch of them last week" when I was in a few time the previous week and they had none.

This buyer is Sumgai. He travels the world just days or even hours ahead of you and buys all your razors. I've known about him for some time....every time I go into an antique store and ask about razors, the dealer always says that sumgai was in the store yesterday and bought them all...

LOL
I've been wanting to rant about him too. Few weeks back I went to an antique store that had several barber hones and a couple dozen razors. I didn't buy anything first time through. A week later, I decide to go back for a hone I want and the store has been cleaned out. The only thing he left was a couple junk razors, you know the kind, look like they were used to dress a grinding wheel.

Lol I started calling ahead. It's not worth the gas.
