    Default Flinn The Razor King

    I've just purchased my second Flinn The Razor King P.O. Box 370 Omaha Ne razor.
    I have the Checker Wedge and It's a Bear and I have seen ebay listings for Flinn's Flyer, Rough and Ready and Flinn's Commander.
    Does anyone know of any other razors that the esteemed Mr. Flinn has marketed?
    I'm also beginning to research his business which will probably entail long hours on microfilmed newspapers. If anyone has any history concerning Flinn The Razor King, I'd love to hear it.

    My latest Flinn:

    This is news to me. What have you found about Mr. Flynn so far?
    The older I get the more I realize how little I actually know.

    I haven't had the time to do the library microfiche yet. The only info online has been auctions at various places.

    Cool looking razor. Will be interesting if/when you find out more.

    Google has 0, zip, nada... it must exist though :<0)
    Good judgment comes from experience, and experience....well that comes from poor judgment.

    I have "tried" winning a couple different "It's A Bear" razors a few times, but never was successful. A very unique razor that I will acquire one day.

    This one is a beauty, just a few smudges off of being brand new, the scales are a pearly yellow over a translucent orange liner and the bear stencil has no wear at all. The box is just a bit scuffed on the edges. I was thrilled when it arrived.
    Much better than the current BIN on the 'bay with the honed out toe and no stencil.
    Keep trying, I won't be competing against you
