Thread: Sources of razors to restore

Antique stores, estates sales, flea markets, ebay,

All thee abovementioned.

But here's a tip for antique stores.

Even if you don't see anything, always leave your name and number and what your looking for. I've done it with numerous stores in my area. I've been blessed by some calls that are still hard to believe.



$150 took all. !!!!

Each razor in the left row, is worth more than that, and some, even more. !!

Dibs on any of those Mike.

here's mine
Besides asking the antic sellers, ALLWAYS ask anyway, more so on a flea market.

See, a lot of sellers don't feel comfortable displaying razors. Heck, one of my most cherished prizes, my first real treasure, was stashed away so much that only half of the sellers couple knew where it was

I agree...always ask. I've gained two nice Wade & Butchers, from a guy who was at a flea market,selling those cheap Chinese, pocket knives.

He had some good, vintage pocket knives, displayed in a glass case. So I asked if he had any vintage straight razors.... They were tucked under the table, in a roll.

I bought the one, then came back the next week, and bought the other.

Even picked up a 7 day set of Schulz's, razors, at a yard sale, once. Just cause I asked....
