    Default Sources of razors to restore

    I'm starting to fall down the restoration rabbit hole, and was just wondering where you guys dig up your stuff. I haven't really gone to a flea market since I started this, so I'm gonna check those out.

    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. !!

    I actually find all mine on ebay. Some have just been listed as buy now or make an offer. The rest I am just lucky to get them at a good price.

    I would tell you but then I'd have to kill you.

    Most of mine I get from eBay also but that is a trick. You have to look very closely and try to find buy it now lots when they first show up so set a notification for things like "straight razor lot," vintage razor lot," etc and check it quickly before people like me and bouschie beat you to it.
