Antique hunting
So it being Saturday and a day off for me, the fiance and I headed off for a antique adventure.
Every store we went into I asked for razors or stones but they all seemed to only have de's.
We did end up finding some stuff but nothing razor related.
We saw a bone china 48 pc set for 400 bucks but we walked away from it cuz one of the tea cups was missing (still a great set if your in Toronto msg me and I'll tell you where if your interested)
In the end we purchased a nice vintage typewriter that worked perfectly. So how was everyone elses antique hunt this weekend?Shaving_story on Instagram

Thanked: 993antique hunting
I wait until tomorrow. St. Lawrence Market on Sunday morning in Toronto.
Not always a tonne of stuff, but I've found a few gems there. It's always a good time though. I get to get out of the house for a couple of hours and just be by myself.
Going to bed early tonight, just so I can be there first thing, while the picking is ripe!
Later,
Maxi

A rare nothing. Did see a Japanese razor that I probably should have gone for but wasn't sure enough to pull the trigger on but that was it. Oh well, always next time.

Thanked: 993Just came back from the antique market with a few things. Was saddened to find that someone had been there before me this morning, and picked up about 6 or 8 razors! I was kicking myself. I was up earlier in the morning, but spend a couple hours honing first. (Enter explanative here)!!)
Oh well. Everything happens for a reason.
There's always next week.
