Thread: Another find, from a friend.

Fat techs. Tons of em. But you're right, there was a brief moment a while ago when I thought things were starting to dry up. I was wrong. My last few finds have been superb. I'll keep riding this wave until it crashes.....

I haven't been able to find anything worth buying in months.
You better have him look at those other razors too. Don't miss out.
Congratulations and enjoy!

It's called a horse shoe in my butt.

But persistence pays off too.

Nice find! We all need friends like that.

Completely envious Andrew. Congrats buddy.

Best things I have collected came from Conn, Penn, NY, NH, Mass, and even a recent one from Vermont. Ebay......
Down in Houston? We get things collected in the 50's by old ladies.... Hard to find a DE!

Can understand why. The NE part of the country was were all the industry was.
Your the furthest away from it.

I have been cleaning out my in-law's house forever, it seems.
The 'multi-generational' stash is getting to be extinct.

Our millenial kids will not keep the house, much less the contents.

How many FBUs and other lovelies have been tossed into the bin?
If we knew, it would be appalling!

Before I ever got into the straight razor thing, if my wife had ever found a straight razor in her Dads or Grandfathers stuff, it would have been trashed. I think a lot of people look at them as scary things that just draw blood. I know she did. Another story, When I got my first straight, my best friend said to me in a very concerned tone, " Why would you ever want to shave with one of those?" I think my answer was "because it's awesome!" Lol.

I get the same thing.

Congratulations Andrew, what an awesome find! Not jealous at all...

Under that blue paper though.. dont think it's a Knack.. I think I can see numbers on the adjuster ring, though it's really blurry... or maybe that's what I want to see [emoji16] A great find indeed, enjoy restoring those beauties, very happy for you!
