Thread: Giant GB Anchor

Atta Boy, Ivan! Good to see you again. So. Are you our new flagship GB man? We need one, you know!

I will try to be. I need to buy one first! "A" for effort so far....But still no razor.. Work in progress.

I heard that a lot of houses have them. I suggest that everyone take a sawzall and check your walls.

On a side note, these things are starting to come out of the woodwork all of a sudden. One big sale and ........:-)

It is called hype, but I can understand the collector' value of the pieces as such. They definitely will not provide $xxx quality shaves though.

They come down quick, don't they? I lived in a shotgun shack, next door to where I am now, and it had them for the windows. BUT, some were broke, like yours. Weird house, they added on to it, out of scraps after a fire or two. Knob and tube for part of the electric too. Honest injun, my dad did find an old straight razor when doing some work on it, along with a key to a model T. I imagine the razor is around here somewhere, I remember it was skinny and pretty messed up.

Hahaha here's yet another one. Anchor Razor GB Razor Wade Butcher Razor Vintage Sheffield Straight Razor | eBay

Well I guess this statement more than justifies the price:


Only A Few Of These Left On Earth



I guess that's why the aliens always appear clean shaven, they're taking the GB's with them.

Or both! I can see that happen.
