Robeson 8/8

[Walt]

I have been prowling the flea markets, antique stores and auctions for years in search of razors, but have never come across any "choppers" that would fit into my budget. At a flea market this weekend I found a nice Robeson 8/8 and thought my quest had come to an end. And then, about six stalls further on, sits a 9/8+ Joseph Eliott "For Barber's Use". They say all things come to he who waits, and I have been waiting a long time for a day like this. And now the really great part, the combined price for the two was less than fifty bucks. And I'm not even going to tell you about the Filarmonica I found last weekend, because that might seem like I was rubbing it in.

Incidentally, for any Robeson fans, I posted an entry in the Clubs section that shows a great Robeson counter display with twelve "naked lady" scaled razors that recently was sold at auction.
