It sure has Rez! I've really gathered some great items over the past few years. I owe my bros here at SRP a huge thank you for a lot of them. I'll get a cool panoramic shot of my shop and share it real soon! I appreciate your compliments and support!

This guy took the razors to Brimfield Mass, if I'm not mistaken, there is a huge antique meet there a few times per year. That's where he sold all of them to 1 dude! I have to say, he gave me a great deal on the mugs so I'm sure the man who got the straights is still grinning ear to ear! We all know mugs and brushes are collectable and desirable but the razors are what us guys scarf up like there's no tomorrow.

For a haircut just go down isle #3 turn left at the mugs, proceed past the brush kiosk and have a seat.
Har!!!

Now i like how you think and you're probably right but I'd rather have my tiny shop that's just oozing and overflowing with razors, motorcycle stuff, guns, knives, and Americana out the ying yang! You guys can understand that, right?

I'm with ya on that one. I think I slowly better start going through them & describe them with any information about them. I sure don't want them to be sold off for little or nothing when my time comes!!!!

There is an association of shaving mug collectors. If you don't want to keep all 280, you might be able to contact them and sell some off to one of the collectors.

Barber Shop Memorabilia

Man, I would love to know what 500 straight razors that one buyer got and what he paid on average. What you got look nice so I can't see why the buyer would leave those behind.

My father left us some things he had collected over the years and my wife made sure we made notes as he described them to us. Many of the things were cool but especially so to family if the details are known. The box fell off a shelf and the notes etc got mixed up.....

Rocks that he had collected on vacation at this local etc. Some of it we can save/coordinate but I better do it before I die.
