Antique Shop 100+ Razor Score

[heynetboy]

A few days ago I posted a thread about find a few Fatboys at a local antique shop. Well, I went back today and bought all of the TTO's, slims, super speeds and a few others. I paid $1.25 each for these and I think there are around 103 razors. I haven't checked date codes or cleaned any yet, just thought I would post a pic to show everyone. I am still pretty new and are not sure how to id them all.

That is going to take a few bottles of scrubbing bubbles and several tubes of polish!

:biggrin:

Oh my. Um, good for you.

Welcome to your new hobby.

Keep one of each and sell the rest. Then you can buy some nice brushes/soaps/creams/blades/aftershaves. You'll be set for life.

[Robxcarlson]

Most of these could be easily sold for $10 or more each (Some probably a lot more), so this really is a steal. I'm a little jealous, I always check out the antique stores and all I found so far was a couple of crusty, nasty, non-opening fatboys for $12 each...

[Hazy]

Nice haul. That should keep you busy and out of trouble for while.:001_smile

[drews50]

What a score. Be sure to post the surplus on the shaving mall. I could use a few of those, like a black tip and a blue tip and a combination set and a......

Congratulations, heynetboy! It looks like you've acquired quite a few nice razors, there.

If they clean up well and shave well, you might even have your retirement plan locked up! :smile:

And welcome to B&B. Shaving is, very obviously, in your blood.

[MTgrayling]

Keep one of each and sell the rest.

+1! Wow deja-vu, great haul!! :w00t: I'd wait until fall (october/november) and put them up on eBay. There seem to be more bored computer jockies/wet shavers looking for razors then. Really a great find, congratulations.

Damn nice catch! Antique stores hear sell old lady crap. You can definetely turn a good profit on those.

Heynetboy,

Avoid power tools, dremel, buff pads, MAAS, and the like. Buy a large tub of OxyClean and a couple of large aerosol cans of Scrubbing Bubbles. Along with a soft old toothbrush, these will get you well underway. Oh, and a bottle of Barbicide.

Good Score! :w00t:

(wish *I* could find one of these deals...)

Big time +1 here....

great googly moogly!

[northmendo]

Being that you can't Buy/Sell/Trade yet. Send them all to me. :tongue_sm
I will let you know how much I like them every so often.

[Limey]

That's truly a score. You may also be the only member here with more razors that posts. :tongue:

[netsurfr]

Nice haul! Have fun!!!

[rodd]

holy cow! I am way jealous. With your current investment you can have a self supporting hobby for quite a while. That is Awesome. Congratulations, I am glad you went back, when you told us about that I was thinking about booking a flight!

[heynetboy]

Thanks for all the encuragement. I can't wait to clean a few and try them out. I am having a lot of fun with this new hobby. It gives me more things to hunt for when I am traveling to antiques shops and flea markets. I have ordered a few books on razors and and excited to learn more about razor history and how to identify and date.

My first thought upon seeing the original post was "whoa did Mike change his username or something???"

[TENroaches]

That purple travel set in the lower right, I saw one in an antique store on Saturday for $45.

[r5cackus]

What a great haul! Looks as though you scored to great razors in there! I must say... Looks as though you have some serious work ahead of you though.

[rm71]

Bloody hell:eek:

Nice score.

Dibs. I called it, guys - DIBS. :001_smile

[boingk]

Dude. DUDE! I'm somewhat inebriated and thats still really, really impressive! Possibly even more so than usual... Anyways, good luck to you with sorting/cleaning/selling the razors, you'll get a lot of enjoyment and [hopefully] profit out of it.

Cheers 'n' beers - boingk

[Regular_strop]

What a great haul that is. Really must check out the antique shops near me again, maybe, just maybe, they might have a huge collection like that just come in! :w00t:

[MCsommerreid]

Mein gott.

You need an ultrasonic cleaner, as I don't think they have created enough elbow grease to get those sparkling.

Or I'd happily take those filthy things off your hands :wink: :tongue:.

[Must Dash]

Damn nice catch! Antique stores hear sell old lady crap.


That is undoubtedly the strangest fetish I have ever heard of. :eek:

Looks like you're going to be the razor cleaning business for awhile.

[AsylumGuido]

Holy carp! What a haul. You're going to need to invest in a nice gas mask to live through all those scrubbing bubble fumes. :eek:
