    Thumbs up Garage sale find with pictures.

    I think I made out pretty dang good huh? These actually were picked out at a garage sale by my GrandMother for $2. This makes up for all the over-priced ones I have paid for! The adjustables are a 1962 and a 64. I am going to let my Son pick out which one he likes and keep the other. I really do not shave with an adjustable but, I will be able to say that my GrandMother gave it to me. As soon as GEMini is over I am going to try another injector that I have so the timing on this one is perfect with blades on the way even.

    The adjustables have been cleaned and are ready to go. Man, there sure was a lot of "unseen" gunk that came out of these babies! It's not my first time cleaning an adjustable but, I was a little suprised. Neither of the Schicks have been cleaned yet.

    Those Slims look phenomenal! Judging by the paint in the numbers, they were seldom used.

    She's got the knack -- take her to an antique mall. What a great score!

    Yes a whole 2 bucks! And I can never find them either, ever. I take that back I found two nice vintage shaving mugs and brushes earlier this year but, that's it. My Great Aunt comes up every year, about this time and they spend most of the week and the weekend all day hittting all of the sales.
    Tom, I would have to agree with you on that!
    Scott, she found them somewhere in Independence last week.
    I know that both of the Schicks are newer but, they cleaned up real nice too. I've decided what the heck, I'm keeping all 3 and letting my Son pick out which adjustable he wants.
    I have a plan of telling her that everyone around here said she scored big and maybe that will encourage her!

    Congrats! Those are some really well kept ones, too, from the looks of them. Very nice!

    That's what I was thinking. She has the gift! I would drag her all over and let her senses guide you.
    $2, hell, they may as well been free. The injector looks to be in great condition.

    Awesome haul, unbeatable price. Can I borrow her sometime?
