Razor Acquisition Opportunity-? about D.J. Faour
I got a call from a local antique dealer who knows I'm a sucker for a razor.
That's like a Black Jack Dealer calling a known gambling addict to let him/her
know there is an empty seat waiting at the table.
The razor she describes has a blade etched with a horseman and dog chasing a steer. A Google search led me to D.J. Fauour and Bros. She says it's got a bit of pitting near the handle but the blade is otherwise in great condition. She thinks it's worth about $150, but wants $75. I know asking for prices is dicey but I'm wondering if anybody is familiar with this razor and
if the the price is ballpark. I have no idea if it's shave-ready. Previous razors I've purchased from her have been in outstanding condition.
The fact that an antique dealer has me in mind when she finds razors is very nice but somewhat concerning. SWMBO is an antique collector/dealer. She is a terrible enabler regarding my AD's but doesn't like the real estate
I've taken over in the bathroom.
