    Default My latest Acquisition or why i love my local Flea Market

    I dont know why, but there are somedays our Flea Market offers nothing of interest, but there are also some days you feel as if theres a Razor & Sahving outbreak, today it was such a day, if i had wanted i had could buy around fourty Razors (many Weltmeisters, some ERN´s, a couple of Dovos and Koellers) but only these two (and the nice lil Culmak Junior Bristle) a Fram 89 13/16" with very thin grounded Blade and a F. Klein 13/16" Silberstahl had been good enough

    Of course, theres just some work to do (cleaning, sharpening, rectifying the scales of the Fram) but i guess it was a good deal for about 40$.

    Thank you very much :-)
    I hope they live up to their promise, by the Fram i know that it is a very good razor but the F.Klein is new to me,
    i have a Heinrich Klein Chronik that is one of my best 1/1 Hollow Razor, i hope that the F. Klein will be similar.

    Chronix was a trademark of F.Klein and after him of Heinrich Klein, so definately something very similar, F. Klein was the owner of a salon in Berlin, he invented Kleinoil, so more then likely he was not the maker.

    Wow, all of those razors are great finds and appear to be in great shape. I have yet to stumble across a razor at a flea market or antique store that was worth a second look. When I do find them they are typically destroyed, yet still overpriced!
