    Default Dreams do come true.

    Gentlemen,
    After years of searching for razors at antique stores with limited success my luck changed for the better this morning. The first store my wife and I walked into, look what presented itself to me! This Aristocrat appears to be in near mint condition, operates perfectly,and drum roll please the price tag read $10.50 On our way home I kept thinking wow these kind of stories really do happen.

    It just goes to show you never know what you will find. All of the current razors I have in rotation were found in antique stores. The big mall types seem not to have many razors, as they are sold quickly. The smaller out of the way shops have proven to be the best for me. Congrats on a great score!!!

    You guys have to stop posting this sort of picture. I'm a student, I can't afford to maintain my RAD as it is, you're all ruining my bank account, yes, it's YOUR fault!

    Really though, that's a stupidly beautiful find at an amazing price, good for you! none of the shops in my area have anything (except the shop which sold a vintage gillette that morning before i went in)

    If you find it doesn't shave so well for you, just drop me a line
    Razors: Merkur 38C (HD Barber Pole), '53 Gillette Super Speed, '61 Alu Handle Tech, Flare-Tip Super Speed, Flare-Tip Rocket, Heljestrand No. 24, Rolls Razor "Viscount"
    Brush: Edwin Jagger pure badger
    Creams: Body Shop Maca Root, TOBS lemon and lime, T&H 1805
    Soaps: D R Harris Arlington, Mitchell's Wool Fat, Palmolive Classic, C&E Sienna
