Goodwill and any thrift store worth its goods have several people that go through all donations first and pull any item of obvious value. Goodwill has an auction site for those things. Don't know about the others businesses

Nice finds, I really like a animal bowl - the texture, feet, color - it's pretty darn cool! I have to remind myself to hit the thrift stores and goodwill more. I do like garage sales and as the weather turns warmer I will be going to those for sure. Things like strops, mugs and hones/sharpening stones can sometimes be seen out on the tables for sale, but in my experience you need to ask the person hosting the garage sale if there are any razors for sale. They tend to shy away from putting out sharp objects on account of kids picking them up.

Had a good weekend last summer in this category. Found the Aluminum handled brush at a thrift store in their "collectibles" showcase for around $8 and the blade bank, brush and Gillette silver plated "Big Fellow" at a garage sale for $7.

Also this ivory scaled razor at the famous 127 garage sales for $10!

You didn't mention flea markets in you title so i didn't include any of those but it's always fun to treasure hunt there too!

Consider flea markets added. But in general, they are closer to the antique store category but more approachable on prices. Do like that Gillette!
