Nice! Saw Montmartre and Basilica Sacre Coeur today, too, did ya?
Negatory! After my shaving expedition I headed to that tower they have in town and Notre Dame. According to SWMBO, Montmartre and Sacré Coeur are on Thursday.
Enjoy!
I bought this last month but it arrived this morning. A 6/8 George Wostenholm IXL celebrated razor that needs some work. It has an odd grind too.
was browsing at a local antique mall yesterday and mentioned to one of the sellers what I was looking for and he went in the back and came out with a cherry J-1 slim in case. Not as impressive as some of the finds but not bade IMO
On today's walk in Paris, on the recommendations here. Badow!
Not a huge score, but I got a little care package from Maggard's today...now where should I start?
Stopped by Maggard's store last night and was impressed. Small, 2 person operation but they have a good range of shaving supplies and the owner is a fellow wet shaver - love's his slim!
Is that the G-20 or one of the other versions? That thing looks sweet. Let us know how you like it.
Ator 7/8- Fantastic!!!!! 
Found this little guy yesterday afternoon. Original paper "spacer" and what appear to be some NOS blades. The case is dinged up, but everything else is solid.
I bought this shiny one in late september but hope it's ok to share.
One of the most shiny ones I ever seen.
Must admit that this razor's not the best in my opinion but best looking for sure!

I hunt a lot. Recently the pickings have been slim and I don't mean I found a cache of Slims. Slim in the fact there there just hasn't been much out there. I had gotten so discouraged that I didn't even go out to one of the bigger spots for a month or better. Today is crappy and rainy so it seemed the perfect time for a spin through a regular haunt. Once again, pickings looked slim, a couple SE's, a decent NEW, a blue tip and then.....
A Pat. Apl'd For non-serial numbered Double Ring. No case, just it hanging out with the aforementioned blue tip and a bunch of straights. The knob is worn, there is some plating loss on the head, there is a small crack at the top of the barrel and two of the outside teeth are bent slightly. It looks pretty dang good for being about 110 years old. I am still in a bit of shock. Persistence pays folks.......

Well, I've had the de bug for only a week or so but, I've already bought some more stuff. Nothing as fancy or nice as you guys. I stopped by the local antique store today and spent $16. I might need some help in identifying some of the goodies. 2 Gillette de razors, 2 cheap brushes, and 8 packs of blades. The silver Gillette is a D4, not sure what the gold one is. I know the Gillette 7 O'Clocks and the Silver Blues, and the Wilkinson Swords. There rest of the blades I have no clue about. Any info on the razors or blades would be much appreciated.
