Wow, those all look pristine. Great score.
Yeah, +1 on a Nice Haul. :) That Puma is a very nice find. :tu
Wish the antique stores here were as fruitful, but I'm too close to OU and the students buy up everything. I'll be glad when the 007 thing wears off.
Congrats!!
Howard :)

I'll give you $6.oo for the Gem SE to alleviate your dull social life.
And I'll give you $51 for that Puma. You can make a sweeet sweeeet dollar. :)

Auto-strops are fun and amusing. I have yet to test the effectiveness of the design or my technique. You can take the back of a standard SE blade and it's a very close fit to the Auto-strop slot. Not perfect, but it's workable. I use mine for shaving my head. The angle feel are very nice.
I will keep that in mind, as I feal the blades for it will be few & far between.
That is one nice bag 'o' stuff you brought home. I need to get out and socialize more like you !
Great finds! That Puma looks sweet almost NOS, they are fantastic shavers and the coffin boxes are cool as well, Enjoy!
Great finds! Enjoy!
Feather still makes a modified blade for them and they sometimes come up on the 'Bay.Quote:

Great finds......enjoy the scores. Should be quite the experience!
Good shopping, John. Very, very nice. I can remember using that V4 black handle with my first mug, brush and Williams puck. Still have both (not the puck).

What is the antique mall and where is it. I might have to go there tomorrow or saturday.
Here are the 4 locations, I think they are run by the same company:Quote:

The Wildwood location at 364 Shoping Center drive, was my best stop , I was in a hurry, probably missed a few items hidden on back shelves. As you walk through the front door, about 5 yards ahead of you, there will be a line of glass display cabinets in the middle of the floor. Mid-way down the cabinets is one cabinet of shaving equipment. It is the personal collection of one man. No straights as I took the Puma, but he loads the case each week according to the ladies. Lots of DE & SE razors in great shape. I left a lot of beautiful razors there, but I have to have a home, food & a car so my money was limited to the items you see.
,,,,also don't go on Sunday, the ladies said that the owner of the booth does not answer his phone on Sundays , so you cannot bargin with him on the prices.
The DE razors are sure nice but the Puma at that price is outstanding! Great find!
If you come much further to the west, you get into my stomping grounds which surprisingly seems fairly fished out. Every once in a while I'll stumble across onesies, twosies but no large hauls. I have seen a few nice razors at the antique places in Tarpon Springs but they're generally pretty proud of them. Charging good money for nice razors is one thing but they also seem to charge good money for trash too. Every once in a while though (generally when I least expect it I'll stumble onto the $8 CV Heljestrand or the $4 Gillette Fat Boy.
