Thread: Shops in London selling straights?

Definitely not one of those horror stories you want to hear unless you are the Antique store.

They might have been gold dollars, you never know.

Or they could be the rare, exalted Kreigar's???

Makes sense, you buy gold by the pound don't you?

The chap I'm referring to is pushing 60. I can only imagine the treasures in that shoe box he gave away if they belonged to his grandfather. If I'd have been in the antique shop I would have doubled the owners offer. Seems like a bit more than sharp practice if there are new old razors amongst it.
I could have cried, I'm not afraid to admit it. The bottom lip was on it's way to a wobble lol

Yea, I can almost visualize that faint tell tale quiver of lip. Can't say blame you either. Man, I am 60 and you won't see me flogging straights for a pound a piece anytime soon. That is if I remember.

The wobble was because he said he'd have given them to me if he'd known I used them. One week earlier and I'd have been rolling in razors (not literally, that would be dangerous )

I was about to ask how long ago it was, if it had been 40 years then £20 would have been a lot. But in this case he could buy 2 meals and pints from weather spoons.

Thanks!

my aim by going to the outlets was to educate myself without buying blindly, the search goes on
