Thread: Some Antique store finds!

I've been to all of those also. Try the ones on Selby and Fairview, that's where I found the Monopol. Stillwater also has about 5 stores. I travel out about 100 miles in my searches. I've found some great ones on W. Seventh.

There's a bunch of us in St Paul

I'd love to meet some locals. I don't even own a single straight yet -- was at Target and remembered that I was out of Mach 3 blades. Then I remembered having recently found out about Dollar Shave Club, so I started looking into that. That took me down the path of thinking of getting a double edged safety razor. Somehow I stumbled on straight razors and figured, "Why not?" Now I'm really excited and interested... but have just been reading thus far.

I know much more about hone wear than I did a week ago and feel better about antique stores, but if I don't find one there soon I'm just going to go with the Whipped Dog razor/strop/pasted balsa wood deal. I might end up doing that anyway. Do the MN-ers ever get together? I'd love to learn more/talk with locals sometime!

Yes we get together maybe twice a year and small groups more often, I'm five miles north of downtown St Paul. Randy Tuttle (randydance062449) is also a local and a great teacher/mentor and is also close to DT

Congrats on the antique finds. Does the heart good to find a nice bargain.
