A new love for the flea market!!!

Just this am I posted that i think my area was depleted for REALY nice razors. Well i figured i would pop in the local flea market. We got a snow storm last night so after clearing the snow we went. At first it seemed like i was stricking out. But then I saw it. WOW!! No way. The only place i saw a razor like that was on this site. Globusmen-gold. Boy was I excited. After buying it I continued then I picked up one more. A Geo wostenholm, celebrated I XL. Blade is in great shape only a little hone wear but the scales are beat.

great find, that soligen razor (the yellow one) looks similar in style to a particular Bartmann razor I'm in love with.

Very nice finds, I like them both!

As pretty as the Solingen is with the gold and the high-end fileworking, that shoulderless Wostenholm with the big smile somehow looks like pure business. If it were any more British, it would have come with a tin of tea and a pith helmet. :D

Very nice find. Congrats!

Edit - I didn't see the Wosty pic the first time - that's a beauty! Right up my alley too...

LOL! That one is cool. I like the sweeping flow of the spine and the smile of the blade. It would look great in better scales. Those are realy chipped.
