Thread: Where to find vintage blades?

Specifically, I'd like to shop for Vintage SRs that are either shave ready or near shave ready. I do not have the means or the skill to restore razors. I'd like to leave out eBay, because most of the vintage razors I see there need some repair. So far this is what I've found:

- SRP Classified
- stropshop.co.uk
- WhippedDog.com (half-seen deals)

The SRP Classifieds are your best option but not fool proof. Most of SRP's senior members with experience in purchasing straight razors would agree. Look for people selling in the classifieds that have a lot of posts and have been an SRP member at least a year or two.

Vendors Corner

Might want to browse throgh there too

Try to check this selleres on eBay:
- valery8122
- manyrazor
- altima55
- cedarfurnitureman
- undream22
- goodtann

And here I have other links:
1. STRAZORS.com - all about classic razors - Home page
2. Vintage Razors | Straight Razors for Sale
3. Vintage Straight Razors

If anyone want I can post my complete list of shops with shaving goods which I gather recently (I don't know maybe there is some other topic on the forum where I can post it).

hello. i'm new to this site and joined so that i can find out the best barber type razor blade (the ones that open up like a blade) to buy for my husband's birthday. any ideas where to ask? i'm looking for something vintage looking with a nice bone handle, but that shaves very well and lasts, with damascus steel. i don't mind spending up to 200 euros for something very beautiful. please advise if you can, as keep reading scary reviews about some of these blades and don't want this to be his last birthday! ; )

Let me check what I can find, but I think it's unreal to find damascus razor with horn scales for 200 EUR

oh ok. i don't mind paying more if its a really beautiful piece. maybe they will throw in a leather pouch and shaving cream in for free! ; )
thanks for your reply. keep me posted x

It's really difficult to find such razor immediately, I can't think of any new razor with damascus steel and horn scales, maybe you can find only vintage one or custom razor.
If you want something special look at the TI limited edition:
