One stop shop
So i took a little break this summer from RAD to get some bills paid off. As of Friday mission accomplished.. so today it was time to take a drive over to one of my local shops to see about finding some razors in the wild.
Anyway i walked right past a display case until i heard my GF shout 'did you see all these razors".. No i did not. Am i losing my edge? Har!
I dropped a few larger bills on this assortment, but i couldn't help myself. After months of restraint i figured i deserved a crap ton of new old razors.
Here's what ended up in the net. (descriptions below)
48a LouPer Mustache Trimmer.. i think whoever had it was using it recently, almost shave ready.
Dubl Duck Satinedge with some spine wear and a frown.. don't care.. it will shave and i wanted a Duck.
Genco 'Fluid Steel' in great shape.
W&B Near Wedge? with a notch in horn (actually passed this one up due to price but turned around, drove back and got it so it didn't haunt my dreams).
Another W&B, slight chip near heel. Looks newer from the stamp.
Koch & Schafer 'Kama' with some great spine work.
Gotta 120
I think most of these will just see my soapy toothbrush and the stones.
I am currently experiencing razor bliss.
Thanks for lookin' dudes.. razor on.

Great Haul.
Way to use Crap Ton properly in a sentence.
I would love to find that in the wild.
Congrats on catching up on bills, and a great score to boot.
If you got away for under $500 you should feel like you hit the lottery.
Those are in great condition. Those are my sort of restores nowadays.Your only as good as your last hone job.

Thanked: 2284Excellent finds! Shame about that smiling W&B, it's a beauty, but I think there's room for restoration on it. Now you got some work to keep you busy.

Sweet score and I also appreciate seeing "crap ton" executed so well, just like farting around always gives me a chuckle. Enjoy these suckers.

Thanked: 3215Yup, my bride has an eagle eye at Antique Flea Markets. Must be those years of practice, shopping... paying off...
Seriously, some great shavers there, an instant collection. Some WD40 and 000 steel wool will clean them up, 600 and 1k wet and dry and good metal polish will make the blades shine.
Steel wool and metal polish or Novus plastic polish will make the scales gleam.
