Could be.....!! :w

Always good to talk to the venders, get to know each other on a first name basis. I even have spies, that will purchase razors for me. So that others don't get to them before me, being I don't...

My pappy was a haggler, and taught me well. Show great interest in the product, talk to the folks a bit, put it down and walk away. They will almost always lower their price, to within reason. ...

Another call from the shop, today. Stopped in after work and found a near NOS, 13/16 Clauss, stamped U.S.M.C. on back side of tang, and a boar brush that's stamped Chicago, on the ferrule.

Well, there were 3 razors at the antique shop, only one was worth buying. The first was a 5/8, Unknown German grind, with a big bite outta the heel...wind chime.

The second, a badly rusted 5/8...

I almost blew snot outta my nose.!!

Good one, Roy.!

You ain't too far away, Vern. U wanna go, just look on the web for Uniontown Antique Mall. Then punch in directions, get in yer car. I figure u can make it in 3 1/2 hrs. I'll make sure I leave...

It is the same place, if ya wanna give it a go. But I doubt it'll be like the last haul. Sounds like its just a couple. But they have some others their bringing in, when I come in this weekend. ...

Just received another call folks, I'll be going to look this weekend. :tu

Yep, Roy has it covered. Just a bit more effort cleaning out the pivot area will help with the loss of tension.

Oh yeah.!!

Stick the whole thing in a zip lock, with some neatsfoot, and let it sit for a week. It'll be good ta go again. :tu

Can't remember the thread but I believe one of Mike's favorite shavers was a 7/8 rattler (FR?) so that one will be seeing some use. Apologies if that I incorrect.

Its the...

That made my day with this find, for i just recently bought one, and this one will make a fine match for a two day set, once restored.

It was a awesome find, Josh. I've been looking in the wilds for razors of this caliber, but I wasn't expecting to find them grouped together, and all at once.

Then to absolutely steal them,...

Not anytime soon, I'm still collecting and enjoying each one

That one got my interest as well, it reminded of the razor I restored for Jerry ( Gasman )

I unpinned the Imp, last night.. Was surprised to see the blade was in great condition, and I might be able to shorten the wedge enough to fit it back in.....for a little while, that is. :rofl2:
...

Yep.! I knew that would get your attention. ";"

No, I expected I'd be going after more cash, after seeing what he had. But I typically carry enough cash for a couple razors, should something like this happen. I was histatic when he accepted...

Well...$160 after tax.

Got a call from a local antiques store today, said they had just got a bunch of razors in. Being I only work till noon on Wednesday, I stopped in on the way home.
