    a successful visit to the local antiques mall
    A Rolls on the cheap, because the hone was loose in the box. (guess they didnt know how to install it!)

    In another booth down the row I found a Frico that I really liked even with a small chip in the blade and warping scales, Not to mention it came with a Jung 80 Box!

    After all the discounts I paid a total of about 55 bucks. Not a bad day.

    SOME of the vendors there were TRYING to steal. Two rows over was another booth, with another rolls, with a broken hone and missing the handle, and they were asking 40 bucks! More than a few straights with out of proportion pricing.
    I told the attendant "Thats the Crack Isle" "I think all those dealers are smoking too much crack!"

    Action on the Rolls was tight, any lubrication had long since turned to gum. A good cleaning, and she was working fine. Just honed up the blade, and will be getting a rolls shave this evening. Sometimes a straight on a stick is a nice change of pace.

    I think those Jung 80's are fantastic shavers! Had a few pass thru my hands and they have all been sweet. Enjoy!
