Thread: Anywhere else to find used/ restorable straight razors?

Besides craigslist, ebay, any good suggestions on where a guy can find used SR's around? Looking for restored or to be restored for my collection.

Thanks.

Finding razors in "the wild" is IMO one of the best thrills in this sport.

Local antique shops, flea markets, estate sales, Craigslist, garage or rumage sales can keep you occuoied for months in your local area alone.

This sums it up.

Typically you can also get them in antique or estate sale cheaper then ebay or Craigslist. Though this is getting harder the more popular SRs are getting as every antique dealer thinks they have gold now with every beat up broken SR they find.

Follow the obituaries in your area, and look for recently-deceased men, 80-and-older (Korea/WWII vintage). There might be a straight razor or two for sale.

Knock knock knock... "Sorry for your loss ma'am, but did your husband use straight razors for shaving?"

I found a bunch at a gun show. Just have to keep a look out. Also at a gunshop that had a bunch of those really cheap and elaborate knives.
