please pinch m !! ouch it happened !!

well the past few months i have been so busy that i honestly have to think about it just to figure out what day of the week it is . ( no exaggeration either ) but today i scored so lucky that even i cant believe it .. !!
pumping gas in a small town i look across the street to see a antique store .. i figure i will stop in as i had a few mins !! i pull up and it is closed !! as i start to pull away a older woman walks up and ask if i wanted to shop around ? i say sure and tell her that really im pressed on time but if she had any safety razors or straight razors i would like to see them .. she tells me she has a safety razor that she just loves and a box of straight razors not worth the shoe box there in ... so as she places them on the counter i had to hide my excitement and hold onto the counter when she gave me a price for them both !! i wont share the price but i will share the razors and if i was in it for profit i would feel worse then i do now for grabbing them !! i always figure i have no luck but everything aligned for me today !!

W&B 8/8 for barbers use ( needs some work , but cosmetic , edge and hone wear are awesome )
Gillette Aristocrat ( needs cleaned )

i will certainly try the windex , i left at 3am and just got home so maybe this weekends project on both razors !! thanks again for the info as i had never even looked into care of that safety razor and would have been getting ready with the scrubbing bubbles ..lol

You had a very good day! They go that way; dry then wet.. no telling which it may be till the end!Enjoy your catch!

Get some pipe cleaners too! They are great for under the head and similar inaccessible places.

Nope, the safest is to put them in a usps small flat rate box addressed to me and give it to the mailman.

or better yet hand delivered !! can never trust the post office !! im on my way ! keep the porch light on

Sure, there's a glass of milk and cookies and a bunch of leftover halloween candy as well as several dressed up skeletons from the dia de los muertos by the pumpkins - very easy to spot the house :)
Don't be scared by the laser sights tracking you as you descend the american flags will protect you.

.................Wow!..............:dropjaw:

I have a Merkur Gold Plated Adjustable DE and Windex does the trick without damage.

Woohoo, buy some lottery tickets.

Was it a box of straight razors? where are the rest of them? :) What a score! Good job!

I recently finally got the fix in with USPS. All packages addressed to gugi are now routed to my address. Thank you, they will reside in a large, lead lined vault guarded by bearded Griffons.

Nice find indeed!

But, but , but.. the BIG one is not a GREAVES!

Oh dear, now the big one is going to talk trash to all your lovely Greaves razors. I fear a fight.

Welcome to the big boy club. Get that beast cleaned up and put it back to work. you'll love it.

Amazing score. Love that chopper to the end of your days!

CONGRATS!!! Fantastic score.

Nice work, Gooser! :tu
