So here's the story:
My wife knows how much I am obsessed with classic shaving rituals and the act of shaving with straights, honing, etc. She also knows that I love to collect and use DE razors from time to time, my favorite being the Gillette NEW and old types. Yesterday she visited a shop in Mahopac NY (a really nice place, btw, with nice people inside) and she came to my job at the bank afterwoods. She explained to me that they had about 50 straight razors and a ton of old gillettes. I ran over to the shop this morning and snagged the two things I Thought were usable. I found a Dubl duck Special #1 with virtually no rusting, I asked the guy how much for it and he told me FIVE DOLLARS. WOW!
The next find with a Gillette NEW, still in the box, and still with the gillette blue razors in their original box. I asked how much for that and I was told an astonishing TEN DOLLARS. These things go for so much on ebay, and I was very excited. Here are the pics:
