Flea Market Haul
Well, I admit that I spent more than I ever have before at a flea market..and walked away with less items than ever before...
but...That said...
Check out the unbelievably cool case that came with the "GB"
The DE is a Gillette Aristocrat from the 40s. I cleaned it up:
And, the "Lather well, shave well" required almost zero work. I need to hone it up!
The two large razors are 19/16 and 17/16. They need some work, but, being near wedges theres a lot of steel to work with...
Boy howdy... I am looking forward to my 3 weeks+ off in June!!!!!!!!!!!

Awesome! That GB is very cool, and the others are nice too. The Aristocrat looks brand new. Now I want to go to your flea market...

I really like the GB. Have one with broken scales, and it is very close to a full wedge, but it is *only* 7/8 in width. Yours is one damn chopper! Looks like greater than 8/8. Congratulations on your miraculous finds!

Wow nice haul!! Those two razors are enormous!! Very cool!! I was lucky enough to find one of those lather well W&B's razors in excellent condition too. Those are keepers in my book. And it shaves real nice too! Congratulations!!
