Sunday loot

Took Milady yesterday for a walk in the local flea market, and we scored some interesting things, both of them from the same salesman.
Milady gifted me with a fairly uncommon straigth razor, never honed and still in its box, with the blade covered with some sort of hard-to-remove "fossil" grease, plus a travel strop:
G. Caudano & C. Torino:

She was paying the guy when his partner came with some more shaving-related stuff to show, and I also took a pristine condition J. A. Henckels safety razor in its perfect little box, and ten original blades!!!

Now... Lots of elbow grease to make the straigth blings again.

I am very happy with the finds, and Milady is also happy with wer new vintage leather purse.;)

Awesome score...that safety razor looks NOS...very nice!

My lady would have said "Hell No", grabbed my arm and dragged me away. Great catch, both in the razors and the companion.

WOW, great finds! You were in the right place at the right time. Congrats!

Some days are better than others...

Smooth Shaving and Good Hunting...

Ya got that right. It's like fishing, some days are good ones!

I'm gonna move to Goiânia, Brasil. Around here all you find are chipped tea cups.

Thank you for the answers, dudes.
These items were found in Sao Paulo, not Goiânia, Razorfeld. I was there visiting my noisy Italo-Spanish-Luso-Indigenous family during "winter" vacations. There is a flea market full of interesting things every sunday at the "Bixiga" neighborhood, a place known to concentrate the Italian immigrant families at XIX and early XX century. Goiânia is a pretty new city (80 years old), and is very rare to find anything older than this here.

I'd still like to move there. I am older than the city and it would be a kick to look at a physical society basically my own age.

Very nice. The safety razor looks very like a Merkur to my eye. Merkur made many DEs with other companies logos on them, so if it is branded Henckles around the handle I'd still bet Merkur made it. One way or the other, very nice haul.

The safety razor is branded with the ubiquitous Zwillinge. I already read about it and also found some pictures of the same razor but in a plastic case, and other people also thinks it is made by Merkur. It shaves like a champ with Brazilian Wilkinson Sword blades, but bites pretty easy. Definitively I have more developed skills with the straights. I think it's a Merkur HD (34), rebranded.

The straight razor cleaned well, and is ready to hone. Tomorrow I'll get some acetone to remove the nail varnish off the gold inlay and she´ll "walk the stone path". My beard also needs some time to grow again, he he.
