I'm not saying that there's not some diamonds in the rough out there in the antique shops, but OMG...I went to my local antique shop and the razors there were so mistreated that I got a little misty-eyed. Deep pits, excessive hone wear, and chipped blades were just a few of the horrors that I saw there.

My thing is that I want to get a nice vintage razor of good/great quality and historical value that I can shave with and maybe pass down to my kids when I'm old and grey, but I'm starting to think that such a thing is going to be really hard to find. Any suggestions on where I may go, or do I just need to keep my eyes peeled?
