You have waaaaaaaaayyyy to much time on your hands. Good looking razors you got there tho, hone em up and report back.
Oddly enough the majority of my finds come from the same several antique stores....you know they don't know razor values when the blades with chips and cracks are priced for the same $15 to $20 as the near mint razors...
The antique store I haunt think ALL SR's are made of gold so I don't buy unless it is a rare find for a good price, needless to say, I don't buy often.
First post, first acquisition.. whether or not it was worth the five bucks I paid at an antique store if it cannot be restored or even usable to shave does not matter. I am just really happy to have found a vintage razor after looking for months. I really am hoping to get it restored though so I can use it. I went from cart to DE and recently to a shavette before the final leap to a straight.

:HJ Welcome to SRP. It would be a good idea to introduce yourself to the gang in the "beginners" area so that we can find out more about you and where you are from. Put your location in your profile, it helps to know exactly where you are rather than just Florida, it's a big state. There may be a member near you that could help you hone it and show you the proper way to shave with it. When you do introduce yourself, give us some better pictures of your new acquisition so that we can help you find out more about it and whether or not it will be a good shaver, it looks like it will be to me. Remember, without pictures, it doesn't exist.
I went to a guy not very far from me a few months ago to get some Old Spice soap mugs (quite a few) & some empty Old Spice after shave bottles except for a large one that was about 3/4 full. Needless to say I only have sold one of the mugs on Ebay but I'd say in the beginning I had between 10 -15 soap mugs. I ended up giving him $40 for two large plastic storage boxes full of Old Spice stuff. I might donate a couple to the monthly giveaway we have. I also have a glass beer stein with a sailing boat on it I really don't want so I might donate that as well. Who knows, maybe the winner will like the stein but for sure will like the soap mug.Quote:
