Driving home today, I saw a little store that read "Antiques" with a barber pole displayed outside. I haven't been to an antique shop since I was a little kid with my mom, and thought what the heck ill see if they have any razors. Stopped in, asked if he had any by chance and happily heard him say yes, strops, razors and mugs.

He had a few razors, I ended up buying this Geneva with a random victor case (free) for about $15. He also showed me a very cool mug priced at $200...In short He said it was a Koken mug that they gave out for free in 1895 when they first opened (pretty interesting IMO) The store also had a few strops (very short) one read gillette 1966 I believe $6, and a nice looking Wilhelm Mandt razor.

Anyways how did I do? Hopefully okay, I know I shouldn't be buying vintages but either way It interested me as it was my first antique find. Worth having honed?
