Thread: Road Trip

Had a bunch of errands to take care of yesterday, one was to meet with a fella who had a couple razors he was willing to sell. While enroute to the man's house, I happened across an antique store in noman's land. Just a simple building with the red ,white, n blue, antique flag next to the road. Swung in for a quick look, came out with three razors. A wosty celebrated IXL, a no name, and a frameback for $60. Down the road I headed for the two origanal razors , arriving at the mans house a hour later than than expected, hoping he hadn't left, but he was waiting in his garage. He hands me the razors after a quick greeting.
One is a 5/8 Rauh, Greafrath with decorative scales (inlayed with white and green MOP), and a 9/16 Hugo's Victor with bolsters. Looked them over, and we got into discussion about razors, and proceeded to show him the plethora of pic I have on my phone of the ones I have, and pic of some that I've restored. He then asked me what I'd give him for his. I walked away.... a happy owner of two for $75. He told me he was hoping for $125, but knew I wouldn't pay that much after our talk about the ones I had bought on the way there. I then ran the rest of my errands for the day, the last one being a bass club meeting .
The club president walks up to me and says, I got something in the car for ya after the meeting. Figured it to be something from the big board meeting he attended in Columbus the week prior.
At the end of the meeting he motions me to the door, he reaches in his truck and hands me a 11/16 Putley, Bordough in ivory scales, one wich is cracked,but not broken.
Tells me , here I found this ...its yours if you want it, theres some rust on it, and I know you like fixin these things up. I say, how much do I owe ya for it. Nothin... Just let me see it when you get it done.

So here they are.
