    Being a great-grandfather I don't think that I fall into this, somewhat vague "hipster" category. But I am an avowed and unrepentant collector of straight razors. And to the statement, "no one needs more than a couple of razors," I say, maybe so. Does Jay Leno need more than a couple of old cars? Does a coin collector need more than a couple of Indian head pennies and a few Mercury dimes? This is my hobby and I enjoy the "chase". I spend a good amount of time and effort in the pursuit of razors. I don't go into one or two antique shops on a Saturday afternoon and then whine when I can't find a good deal on a razor. I was out at 6:30 this morning going to flea markets and found only one rusty Clauss that the guy wanted ten bucks for. Forget that! But, I'll keep looking and going back. The deals are still there. I found a Dubl Duck Goldedge last week and have a line on six NOS razors from a retired backwoods general store owner. So, if you are looking for good deals, get out there and spend some time looking. But watch out, because I'm going to try and be there a half-hour before you get there.
