Thread: My collection grew ,last week and today.

That.......is a lot of razors.

Great finds and great prices. Will you share where you found them or is that like asking a fisherman to tell you where his favorite fishing hole is?

I don't need to know where he lives. I just need to know his secrets. Of course, if he posted a reply, it wouldn't be a secret any more and all of you savages would beat me to the punch. Maybe I should have asked a more direct question like "Where do you live?"

Well you see Randy - as you drove up to find his "spots" - I would already be into his collection lol. Go large they say! I figure I would bypass all the work and get right to his private collection by asking where he lived lol!

Oh,, I'll tell you where I live. Right here,, SEE!
And where I find them,, sure,, just go down the street, and make the first left at the big tree, then go a bit and you'll see a house,,,,,,,

No, seriously, I live in Bethlehem Pa. I think guys must have really been into shaving around here. I fall over the most decent finds like you wouldn't believe. But I do treat finding razor as some might treat looking for a job. I network, talk to everyone,, go to markets, search the net ( anywhere but the bay as I've never bought one from there) friends, neighbors, knife shows. One lead leads to another and I just follow it up. Networking, you know. Talk to dealers who give me first shot at finds they make at estate sales before they put them out for sale. Simple stuff really but it all adds up. Other dealers hear of finds,, or stuff another antique dealer picked up and give me a call... it all just works.

Actually Mark, you gave away your info with your links. You need have no concerns about me, but if I were you, I would be worried about earcutter. Keep your alarm system activated at all hours for the next two weeks. He'll cool off by then.

On a more serious note, I visited your web page and marveled at your work. I did not see the Shroud of Turin replication in your photo gallery. Was it depicted in the picture of Christ on the cross or did you you do another carving?

Please continue posting your work. I admire anyone with a talent as inspiring as yours.

Randy

Randy,, wow..I feel so ,,, naked?
LOL,,
You can see the Shroud,, and the entire story here,

If I wasn't dduck hunting I might go after the good 1. The devil made me do it !

Very cool 10pups,, thanks. That certainly does look just like the image on my scales. Though mine are on a W&B. Guessing a rescale?
Now, you say you plan to go after the one with the black scales? To trim nose hairs?
The good one does look interesting though.
