Boy, did you score! A Dubl Duck Stainless is on my list. Be sure to let us know how it shaves after you hone it up.

The razor was a great surprise to an amazing honeymoon. The owner of the shop, Franky, was super friendly and when I explained my RAD he laughed and handed me this razor. I don't think I have managed to find a $5 so quickly in my life, it was the first piece of cash I grabbed in my pocket.

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.

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. Originally Posted by vicmaldo
