Thread: Maybe my best score ever. NOS razors, strop, and brushes.

What's shaken fella's!?

Had to pop in and show you guys the crazy gear I stumbled upon today. I've had some really good finds in the past, but when I saw this stuff sitting in the glass case, I couldn't leave them behind! Rainy day drive out to LeeValley turned into a great day at the Antique market.

2 NOS, Jatco 302 razors one with a round nose, the other with a spike point.

An NOS Jatco Belgium Shell 540 strop, still with the paper on the linen.

2 Merit 99-4 shave brushes, that I think are NOS, but show their age.

I have stopped buying every razor I find under $25, and try to only purchase the unicorns. I believe this fits that category. Went into the antique store looking for a spoke shave, found that too.








It's been a while since I've found anything razor related worth buying. Was at the same store last week, this stuff wasn't there.

Persistence has always been the secret to finding the unicorns. At least in my experience.

Here's the spoke shave I plan on cleaning up too.

Hot damn find! Good for you! If I went here I'd find empty boxes and a pound of rust for the money.

Hey Handsome! Glad to see you here and esp as gloating!

Those brushes are cool. New knots? The Jatco strop is Naomi-San's older work.
Looks like they have always been together. Extreme awesome find!

Enjoy!

Nice finds for sure! And happy to see you back posting.

It's been like that for a while Richard. I literally took last Friday off work, to take my girls to school. No one else was available and my boss owes me some hrs. Dropped the girls off and hit every antique store I could get to from 8:30am - 2:40pm. Only thing I found was a Hults Bruks Hatchet head that I over payed for.

Saw a lot of that rust and empty boxes...

The Burlington Lee Valley or?
I was there yesterday. No antiquing though.
Nice score buddy!

The loo Mike. Highway goes right from my front door, almost to their front door. Bought some leather rivets and snaps. Slid over to the antique store which is a stones throw from LeeValley.

2 stores that can get a man in trouble pretty quickly.

Aloha!

Two words... "HOKEY SMOKES!"

'Nuff said. What a score. Congrats.

Great stuff.
I particularly like the strop.
Welcome back!
