Thread: 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$.

Nice finds! They should clean up nicely. Enjoy!

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.

Friedrich Klein was the antecessor of Heinrich Klein, wow, than my razor cant be bad, cant wait to sharpen it

Frankfurt a/m has a great flea market every Saturday along the main river, I miss Germany:-(

Around Duisburg / Moers where i come from there are around 10 - 15 Flea Markets each Weekend, some are small with much of cheap new-wares but most are a bit bigger with much of junk and antique things, its possible to make great deals there but there are also days you find nothing, its just a matter of luck.

Congrats on the finds. My city is picked over with nary a straight razor to be found here, so when I read stories like this the jealousy starts to creep up lol

Enjoy!

Cant imagine how flea markets in the US could be, arent there many flea markets or is the availability of razors not so good there?

Seems that the german flea markets have been fruitfull for some members today. These are my finds today. Two Schulzes in quite good shape for about 30 $.
