Buying guide/tips for vintage razors?
Hi folks,
I've been looking at getting a straight razor for some time now and this weekend stumbled upon a bit of a jackpot at a local antique shop.
They had a drawer full of great looking vintage razors generally priced between $40-$60.
I've been doing as much research as possible online but have yet to find any sort of definitive guide to buying a vintage razor.
So far I've picked up some good tips on what to look for in a blade and to (generally) favor British or German brands, but I'm hoping folks here might be able to offer a more thorough list of what they'd look for when presented with a selection of 15+ razors from which to buy.
I'm certain there are great deals hidden away in this drawer while there are likely also lots of lemons.
I realize this is a rather broad question, but if anyone knows of any brands that are a slam dunk (provided the blade is in good shape), or any other tips I'd really appreciate it.
Thanks so much,
-GB.
