I was hoping all day to find like, a whole coffee can full of razors :P instead, I ended up at a knife dealer's booth.
Initially, I'm looking through his stuff, and it is all fairly expensive... $30 for a carbo magnetic.. $50 for a boker... $50 for a thistle cut... $100 for a 2-razor set in a box... $180 for a 2 razor "Buck Bros" set....
I figured I was fairly out of luck at this booth.
So, I asked him about one of the razors, I think it was a joseph rodgers that he had $60 on... and he goes "Man, that theres an old one -- i can't go lower than 50"... And after some hoo-in and haw-in..he says "if ya like the older ones, I got this here"... at which point, he unwraps the leather pack revealing 7 AMAZING razors (all except the W&B Fine india steel above). I ask him how much hes asking for them expecting to hear per-razor prices... and he says "I just marked em down today to 100"... I expected 100 per razor..and then he says "they are a nice batch and worth 100 altogether". i immediately gave him 100.
I went back to his booth at the end of the day and made an offer for 2 more razors...he simply wouldnt budge on price.
I picked up the W&B at another booth -- the only other booth in the place with a straight razor i swear. that was $15 and got me up to my 115 mark.
Good days! :D
