Just wondering if anyone has noticed a large regional difference related to availability of old straight razors?

I ran into something similat when working on classic CB750 motorcycles where guys one the East Coast or Florida would post as if there were motors and parts for these bikes under every other tree... But, I was driving all over Wa State, even to within an hour of Canada, just to get motors and misc stuff.

Seems there may be something similar with vintage straights. I have been all over central WA and recently finished a road trip to the WA coast with well over 25 stops which yielded exactly 'one' straight razor.

That is one reason I've been surprised about some of the negativity about eBay so wondering if other areas just have more availability which gives them other options. I was headed to the beach anyway for my trip but if I had to justify that kind of cost regularly there would be no way this Hobby would be sustainable. Same results with Craigslist... I've had an Ad up for many, many weeks with exactly 'one' response.

I am particularly interested if someone has lived in multiple areas and noticed anything like this or if it is merely coincidence.
