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.

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

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.

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