So I went to the Flea Market yesterday and found these (among many more) - These three are just the first ones off the camera. I will add more razors to this post as I go.
W&B 7/8 -- VERY LITTLE HONE WEAR! This one should clean up very nicely! I am happy!

Damn! You guys travel much better flea markets than I do. So jealous. Nice score.
They all should come out fine after a little cleaning and some honing.
I specialy like the old one.
That is a good haul of swag you brought back from the Fles Market. Around here all you would get would be fleas.

IT'S THE MOTHER LODE!!! Go ahead and GLOAT, you lucky flea hunter. I'm with Diyguy and BobH . . . my flea markets are all filled with disposable tools from China and fleas.
I'm with the rest. Ks flea mArkets are full of crud. I keep diligently searching however.
I am sorry to hear about all of the bad flea markets. I like to think that Connecticut has some good ones because the age of the state and the money that used to and still does (in some parts) circulates here.
Being one of the oldest states, I can easily locate very old and early colonial items ranging from shaving stuff to pottery and art. Thankfully I only go for sports memorabilia and razors.
As for the haul...I have twenty or so more that came with it. So I will keep posting more pictures as I take them.
Here are a couple more:

Razor envy! I'm moving to Connecticut
A heck of a find, friend.
Thank you for sharing them.
One of the things I miss most about Central New York State is the Flea Markets and the possibilities.
Since relocating to Taiwan, I haven't seen a flea market type straight razor for sale.

I am greatful that I live close to a few good flea markets, and there are antique stores all over the place. Sadly though, somebody else is hunting in my town...snatching up my razors before I get to the stores.
Stop! Stop! for the love of God stop! I can't take it anymore..... (sobbing)
Seriously though... nice score(s)
Damn man. Nice haul. You'll have to post the pics after you get em all purdy.
I wish I could find some old razors like that round here. If I do find one that isn't complete garbage they want an arm and several legs for it. Not lying to you when I say I found one with a large half moon chunk out of the middle of the blade. The tag said..."Rare Vintage Straight Razor. Contoured for your face!" They wanted $30 for it hahahaha!
