    Default Jackpot Today!!

    I got both of these for under $50 combined today!! I barely had to clean the Wade & Butcher. How would I protect the label on the Escher from any more water damage?

    Nope!! I've been looking for an Escher like that for four years now. I couldn't be happier with my find.

    How in the hell did you keep your poker face on??? Were you wearing sunglasses like on the World poker Tour so the guy didnt see your eyes LIGHT UP!!! And tell me you took your wallet out real slow and said my wife is not going to be happy if i come home with another razor.

    I'm pretty good at that, the store had about 30 razors in a jar, so I calmly put the W&B and the Escher down on the counter and continued looking.

    It was a lot harder with my blue Escher I bought for $.50 out of an Antique store junk box about 1 1/2 years ago, my palms got a little sweaty on that one!!

    I admire how you kept your cool! That is one loooooooong Escher-what are the dimensions and the color? Beautiful etching on that W&B-someone took loving care of it, and the scales look great too. Sincere green eyed salivating congratulations on your antique store miracle!
