Finaly had some time...

...to take a couple of pics of my latest finds.
First up, a travel set that looks to me to be unused, although there is a bit of corrosion and some ware on the brush and soap tubes where they were strapped in.

It even had instructions and a price list in the box

Next up... a trip back to 1905. I don't know if the box and razor are matched, but the date code on the razor is still quite clear.

Handle and 12 blades in 1905, $5.00.
I seem to recall that I read someplace that the average wage in 1905 was something around $200 per year.

The ladies at the antique mall I found this one at were very nice, and a little uninformed. When I showed interest they told me that this type of razor dates "all the way back to the 1940's."

I have such a great time looking at all the pics of some of your great razors, I hope my crummy digital camera and I could give you a little enjoyment.

Thanks DL.
It's only in about the past 6 months that I've been smart enough to look for razors at antique shops, I wonder how many good finds I've walked right past over the years!

No kidding, I've thought the same thing. We have a ton of antique shops within a 100 mile radius of us. It really is so much fun to go and look for that treasure. I already have this coming weekends excursion planned out. I need to keep quiet or these Texas boys will be all over me!

Andy, check out some of my recent antique shop finds in the safety razor thread.
