    Default I never thought I would wake up at 7 am on a sunday. My RAD said otherwise.

    Hi all,

    I recently had been trying to resist buying more razors, but that didn't go so well. I ended up waking up at 7 am to go to the local flea market to see what they had and I ended up breaking down and buying two razors because I couldn't resist. So here they are!

    The first is a W.H. morley and sons barber notch in decent restorable condition. The second is a dubl duck goldedge in great condition. The seller included the puma coffin with the purchase.

    Yes!

    Now, I just have to to decide which razor to sell to keep the dubl duck. Decisions decisions.

    No willpower ! I would have turned my back on that goldedge and walked away .......... like hell I would ..... That is a great find at a flea market. The Morley is alright but that duck is fabulous.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    Yeah for $3 on the morley I figured i'd take the shot and try to bring it back to life. The next question is what to do with the duck. There is a small rust stain on part of the blade and the golden edge lettering could use some freshening up. I've restored razors but honestly I dont want to mess with the Dubl Duck because of the plating and how beautiful it is already.

    I always look at those kinds of situations and ask myself whether I can make it better than it is or if I'm better off leaving well enough alone.
