Aren't antique shop finds just GREAT!
I've been into wetshaving for about a year now (DE's) and I was really getting tired of not scoring anything HUGE at antique shops. I would see threads about coticules, nice brushes, amazing razors, Eschers, NOS Leicas for 15 dollars, etc. and be happy for the person that got it but also jealous cause I could never get one of those myself. Finally happened for me.
I also got 4 really nice razors this weekend too. So yes, antique shops and markets are wonderful! They pay off once if you're persistent about it
