Thread: Don't forget your local classifieds!!!!

Gentlemen. I often check a local online Classified websight here in Canada called Kijiji for straight razor adds. It has produced 3 or 4 nice razors for me in the past, and has been bare for quite some time, at least in my area, with no adds.

Today I checked it and there was an add for a Boker King Cutter, in very good shape, listed for $40. I called right away and talked to a man who was very nice. He asked me if I was a collector of old razors, and I told him I had a small collection of about 25 razors. He said he had a few others that weren't in as good of shape he would also bring when we met.........




He brought 8 other razors......... I bought them all!!!!!!!!

Those of you who have a week stomach, look away now!!!!!






When I saw them all, and how good of shape they were in, I prit' near needed a shot of Xanax!!!

Wow, amazing. Show and Tell today is turning me a little green with envy.

Thanks for the tip on the classifieds. I hadn't thought of that. Craig's List is my next stop.

Pure luck. It just so happened I found the guy who had 8 more razors.

God, Andrew, I'd give my upper teeth for one of the big ones -oh, I forgot, my dentist already optioned those.

Great catch.

Great catch, hope it didn't dip to deeply into your retirement money.

Awesome catch....think I've seen the guy in Kijiji you're referring to, he has quite a few listed...that frameback is huge, what size is it?

Great score!

Phrank, I just did a search on google with only a few words I could read fro the blade etch. It lead me to your frameback in the Butcher shop. "The Unequalled & Justly Famed Patent Frame back razor" Its just 7/8. Can't wait to get it fixed up.

$140 for everything. like I said, lucky.

Kijiji is useless here in Memphis. As I have stated on numerous occasions, this place is a waste dump, nothing good ever comes here.
