    Great find! What shop did you get it? Are there other razors? I live 20 minutes from Old San Juan. I could get some beat up ones to experiment in restoring.

    The place is called "Franky's" - three blocks up hill behind the Sheraton. I dont know any of the street names. It's on the corner of a small park that has a fountain, closer to Fort Cristabal - there is a Hatain Craft store on the same street.

    The remaining razors are all garbage. If you are looking for some brushes or mugs he has a few.

    Don't blame you one bit for being quick to find the fiver, very nice catch.

    Thank you very much. Sorry to hear the blades are trash. I'll go check the mugs & brushes. Hope you enjoy the razor, it's a great find and the price increases its beauty.

    Happy hunting. I hope you find something, I know that he had some mugs behind the counter and some other shaving items in a couple of the display cases. The store is super packed and not at all organized. Fun place to shop minus the lack of air conditioning.
