    Why is it that all the awesome vintage euro razors seem to turn up in flea markets etc across the states, and in the uk (where sheffield is) the best i can find are worn beyond honing, cracked and chipped POS's..?

    Give our razors back immediately

    PM me for my address and i will see they are properly redistributed to the peoples of the right hand side of the atlantic...

    Well, that is not entirely a bad thing.
    The economic situation over there, in combination with a very low $ compared to my local currency, makes it rather lucrative to buy from over there.
    The only drawback is that shipping is usually a couple weeks.

    Finders keepers hahaha. Maybe you should plan a trip to come over and see what you can find here. It almost seems like they're just laying around here begging for some lucky Yank to find them.
    Why doesn't the taco truck drive around the neighborhood selling tacos & margaritas???

    I don't know why they would want to .... their dollar is now stronger than ours. All they have to do is wait and we will self destruct.

    I know of a few people on the east side of the pond that find and sell some real beauties. Ya have to look in more than the average places and put a lot more than average effort into it and I'm sure you will be rewarded. I hear the same type of comments about the razors I find locally. The truth is that there are around but you won't fall over them most of the time. If I were to add in time and travel expenses the cost of my razors would be much higher than the sale price. Good thing the Mrs and Jr enjoy the hunt as much as I do.
