Thread: Yesterday's haul!!!!!

That's quite a haul indeed! Good finds! I really need to start getting around to find me some beauties like this!

I find that it pays to frequent the same shops often....there is one I probably average 2-5 straight razors a month from and 9 of them have been Wade & butchers

As always, great haul Dennis! Geez, I don't know if I'd like to have that many blades...how are you going to determine what are the keepers, and from there, which one's you're going to restore and add to your rotation?

Have you given any thought to taking some of the "less than stellar" razors, giving them a quick clean and made shave ready and selling them to your customers who may be interested in trying straight shaving?

The only ones I tend to keep are the early razors, Wade & Butchers, and Dubl Ducks, or any others that I tend to like lol....early sheffields are definitely my favorites though. Older nos unrestored ones definitely get kept though, but hard to find as well.

I already do the quick clean and hone for customers that are interested in trying wet shaving. Got about 9 people started on wet shaving in the last year.

ALL of the razors I have purchased were to be cleaned, honed and then sold, haven't sold the first one yet. I get attached to them to easily and then they stick around forever.

NONE of the razors I have purchased were ever meant to be sold....

That was the deal that I made with my wife. I was only supposed to keep a "select" few, turns out they are ALL select.
