Some require a tax number to even enter the premises, unless you have one, forget about it.
Look for the ones that are due to elderly people passing, more chances of safety razors or straights.
Once inside, head straight to the bathrooms,,, lots of sales don't bring that stuff out to the floor, but they will sell that stuff too.
Bring cash & get there early.

I have to thank Hirlau for the website he advised. I had seen it once or twice in my ramblings but never signed up for it. I signed up and scored these this morning.



I will be keeping the little mustache trimmer, the rest will go to fund various other obsessions

Holly Cow !!!!

You know I was looking at that lot on the site but it was an estate sale... I was about to call the, and ask if they would ship them to me if I paid for them but figured they wouldn't do it... I assume u live in that state？

Yes, I live about 45 minutes away. Pure luck.

Some antique Malls will NOT allow price negotiation or reductions. It is part of the T&C with their vendors. It is why you will see the same vendor at different locations in the same area.

I've had them call the vendor and had success a few times, it's worth a shot.

Thanks! This is what I'm looking for! I didn't realize that you could leave messages with the vendors. Just out of curiosity what does the west coast have to do with ur luck? Humidity maybe?

I think its the fact that its so "young", the east coast guys seem to find all the good stuff. There have been established homes and communities there for much longer.

I got a buddy on the east coast looking for straight razors for me lol
