The antique market again...
Went back to the antique stores and found a woman with a bunch of blades! All of them are restoration projects but there were some nice wedges and some beautiful scales. I was amazed at the number of them she had. I purchased a W&B spike point that looks like a 6/8 maybe a 5/8, partially hollow and has "Our Club" etched in the blade. It has some hone wear but, I had never seen a W&B like it so I picked it up. I also bought a John Clarke and Son 7/8 round point full hollow and etched "full hollow grind" on the blade, with nice three pin scales (black celluloid). I left an etched Wolstenholm wedge (IXL) that looked like it would need to have the etching sanded off in order to bring it back. Sorry for the bad photos, I will take some of the blades I bought and post them here soon. She doesn't live in GA so I got a card to call and see when she is coming back this way...

Awright, where was this place?!? I've scoured the areas looking for shops that have more than one or two razors stored in out-of-the-way cases and have never seen so many in one case.
It is probably good that I haven't found the place since I can't really spend on blades right now, but window shopping never hurt...
Really, though, was this near where we live or did you have to travel a ways to find it? I have all but given up finding any decent razors out here.
