Thread: decent flea weekend finds...i think

couple of weeks after i join the forum and in rolls the somewhat local flea market.
I went there hoping to find a few and left with these two. The seemed in good shape. and pretty inexpensive

Boker - perfection


Henckels 060 as shared in the clan subforum




went to an antique store the same day looking for mod furniture (not expecting to find sharp shiny things) and couldn't help but leave with these two. dirt cheap
Torrey


Imperial - really like the looks of this one


just, just over a Benjamin for the four. seem like reasonable finds

- wife (at the end of the day) asks me :"how many straight razors does one need? like, how many do forum members own?"
- me "probably a dozen or so..."

She must worry that I'm on a site full of enablers...

A dozen is a good START....
Talk to me again when your close to triple digits...

I love those camel blades and you have a fine example of one.

Damn good run.!!
About average pricing.

Let us know when you surpass the triple digit..... Har!!![emoji38]

It looks like a good start. Yes you are on a site full of like minded people, some may say enablers. The Heckles 60 used to have a guard on it. Sort of the first phase of safety razors.

Nice start[emoji1]

Those are nice. I'll just repeat something a guy told me in 1988 that I wish I'd have listened to ....... "If you can't be satisfied with what you have, you'll never be satisfied with what you get." Have fun .......

That explains the interesting spine detent. Thanks for the tip
I also like how the boker brand is on the back side on that perfection, cool finds
Enjoy the pursuit.
I remember early on saying I just wanted one good razor from every country that made a quality razor, either now, or before.
Pretty much have that now, and a few spares. All except Italy. And I suppose I should add Ukraine and Belgium to the list based on the works I've seen from a few makers..
Have fun.

At least their not hanging outside my window... Making noise. [emoji1]
