Thread: Searching and purchasing vintage razors

I was hoping some of you could point me in the right direction for resources to learn about vintage razors. I've been shaving with a straight now for about 5 months and I'm starting to get a nostalgic itch for collecting and perhaps shaving with a piece of history. Basically, I would like to learn about different makers, models and values so I don't get ripped off when buying them. I happen to live in an old and historic city where I would imagine I could even find razors locally. Any Ideas on places to check out? My first thoughts were to visit some of the older barber shops and antique shops in town. I've been looking on ebay and see quite a few there but I have a feeling I'm not going to find the better deals there. Most of the time, it seems like you have to go to the not so obvious and out of the way places to find the best deals. I found a post by Lynn on manufacturers and the dates of production that is a great start.

Thanks,
