Dreamed I found a razor at an antique store last night, and went and found it today!

[_MementoMori_]

I'm now the proud owner of an American Button Company razor. I found a silver Empire without the case for $15. Arrow straight teeth, no cracks, and no brassing. It's bizarre that I dreamed about it last night, I think. I also dreamed I found a Darwin DE with an 18" long handle and an open comb like a garden rake. I didn't see one of those at the antique mall, though.

Sure. Give me a few minutes to find my camera.

I need to drive across the state. I never have much luck in our stores on the west side of Missouri.

Oh and what Phil said.

Here we go. Pardon my dismal photography skills.

i found a canadian pocket edition (1911-15 according to mr.-razor) at the westport antique place and a 40's SS at the waldo antique mall.

there was a micromatic at the mission road antique mall in ks that i didn't buy b/c it was 10 bucks. no luck with other things.

it's hard to find these little guys, and no way can i ever find something like you did david.

Where is the Waldo antique mall? I have not checked that one out.

Nice pick up.

[Drybonz]

Weird! You have to hang on to that one... it was destiny.

I actually had a dream that I was straight razor shaving last night... but if that one comes true, all I get is a shave.

[squirrel_nut_zipper]

A fantastic razor surrounded by delicious whiskeys -- the dream continues!

[Blue-EyedSon]

Congrats on a great find! The Empire design is definitely my favorite of the ABC razors.

Nice razor and I am still looking for one to go with the cases I have.

there's a gentleman in the flea market part of it that had a few de's. the weren't in that great a shape and i think they were overpriced. i paid more than i wanted for the 40's SS but it was the DE in better shape. he had a few SE's and a rolls that i passed on as well.

[grump]

Very nice razor and even more interesting story.

[_MementoMori_]

As it happens, I needed a shave tonight. I just found out that the Empire's looks aren't the only thing going for it. What a fantastic shaver! I'm enjoying a rare BBS as I type this.

i too have paranormal abilities, it runs in the family. my little nieces freak out because when they have dreams they think everything will come true, including death of loved ones. i have to keep telling them that the dreams dont always come true. i had a dream bout 911 for 8 months til it come true, imagine what i feel all the time. oh well thats paranormal for you, guess im a freak.

Presented for your approval. _MementoMori_, shaving enthusiast and somnolent seer. An ordinary guy with an extraordinary ability. David dreams of classic razors and they appear, as if by appointment, on the shelves of local dealers in oddments and antiques. A happy happenstance, or is it something more...sinister?

For David, tonight, the dream becomes a nightmare. _MementoMori_ and his midnight mental magic are going to meet a shaving succubus, a demon of the dark that will turn his happy acquisitions into a miasma of misery, a barber's bugaboo with superhuman silage that just won't go away on awakening.

Tonight, _MementoMori_ dreamland of divination becomes a Lilac lancination of the soul as he enters....The Vegetal Zone....

Congratulations! A great story, a great shave, and a beautiful razor, you won the trifecta in the B&B world!

Here's to wishing your dreams of acquiring a Darwin come true (though maybe one of more regular size).
