Not to pile on in opposition to the OP, but i had a pretty good couple of days at the antique stores. I mentioned earlier in the post about getting 2 pretty nice SRs but didn't mention the $4 Gillette TTO. that was on Thursday. On Saturday, I got in an argument with my GF and left the house with no real destination. After grabbing some lunch I figured 'what the hell, I'll go to an antique store in Providence'. I've been to this particular store a few times and I've gotten some pretty nice razors in the past. Well, after an hour drive, the place is a ZOO. I had to park over a block away! I had no idea what was going on. Well, as I approach the front door, I find out its 'dealer day' a semi annual event where the dealers that rent space are present and there is pretty much a 20% discount throughout the store. AWESOME!! So, I find the cases where there are usually some razors...nothing I haven't already seen before I ask one of the guys that work there if there are anymore razors and he points me in the direction of a gentleman dealing with a few customers. I wait my turn and introduce myself. We talk razors for a couple of minutes and he unlocks his display case for me. I pick and poke and find a nice big 7/8 german blade but not much else. Then he says 'take a look at this' and pulls a large roll out with about an additional 30 razors!! Again I pick and poke and find 2 Wm Greaves, a dame,stoddard and kendall and a jm schmid and son...each one 20% off and not too pricey to begin with!!! All in all a very good 2 days of hunting!! (sorry so wordy...still a bit excited!) Pics below:
