1000 Razors.....
Hey guys,
Last week Geezer and me took a road trip to visit a collector who has over 1000 straight razors. We were looking for good buys on razors and hones also razors that could be restored. What we found was an collection of razors that were for the most part in VG or better condition. Fortunately, he also had some "culls". He had a box of razors marked $3 each, another box $5 each, another box $10 each. a display case of 10 blades for $20 and a box of "parts" for $10.
Long story short, Geezer found 16 razors that suited him and I got second choice and selected 31 razors and 3 hones. All of our razors need some restoration.

Randy, my dear friend, those are impressive pictures. The master honer that you are, those razors will sparkle in no time. Well done, both you and Geezer.
Regards,
Obie

Wowzer! A person could spend a long time in a garage like that.
I would hate to leave!
Congratulations on your finds.
Where they all for sale?
