where to purchase vintage safety razors?
seeing as window shopping is on of my favourite hobbies.. i'm wondering what sites are out there for purchasing used and vintage safety razors? other than ebay and the classifieds here.. anyone know of anything.. mainly i'd love to find an extremely old gillette tech on the cheap.. and really don't care for ebay.

Victor,
If you don't mind purchasing from the UK, I can highly recommend Mr Dave Glynn (Modern and Vintage Safety Razors, Shaving Brushes, Creams and Soaps - SafetyRazors.co.uk).
I have had a few razors restored by him, and he does an excellent job.
The prices may seem high compared to those in the USA, but here in the UK everything seems to be much more expensive than in the USA (e.g. gasoline is 2 -3 times more expensive)
Have fun !
Best regards
Russ

Hi Victor,
I have a couple of different Tech razors that might fit the bill. One is a gold ball end (1956) in excellent shape and the other's an undated gold fat handle in good condition. You can use the pm feature if either of those might interest you.

Oh, I also have assorted other razors, such as various super speeds and a few open comb types.

Badgerandblade has a pretty good turnover in their classifieds.

Yes, indeed the prices are good. I have seen same razors go for more on ebay. Originally Posted by technika1

is badgerandblade mostly a safety razor site.. i get that impression.. but i'm strictly an srp man..
perhaps if i checked out the other sites i'd never have any reason to post another question ever again.

Yeah in my opinion they are geared to safety's like this site is to straights. Both of them are the 2 main sites I find useful.
