    Very nice place you found there. Wish it was here in Denver!

    Where in the world is this place? I want to visit. All of our antique stores are tapped out of anything that isn't broken, chipped and rotted.

    I have reservations about the straight in the last set of picks. I don't like the look of the dark spots along the edge. It all most looks like chips on the edge which on less you are good at honing it is a no go. Though I do like the blade dispenser.

    I have to go to BWI Saturday late afternoon, early evening to pickup my son. I may have to take a road trip first.

    I bought the same boxed Trac II handle a few months back for $10, I think. It's a nice one, if you use Trac II.

    That $10 razor in the first pics, the ABC I think it is? I would have snagged that just for the handle.

    All up and down 81 from winchester va to carlisle pa there are big antique shops. I can tell when I enter an area theres a collector or ebay seller as everything dries up quickly.

    I think the boxed one was 6 bucks, could be wrong.

    If you find yourself back there and the blade on that Engels is in good shape, I'll PayPal you money on the spot to buy/ship it!

    To a T-II user, it's well worth it. The one I found wasn't the usual gold(ish) plated but is copper. Very striking and unusual.

    Im debating. Fighting the urge if you will. That khaki set is calling me in a painful way and Id love to grab another brush, maybe the green one.

    I did ask about the abc, it didnt have a price and the store was checking. They think it was being sold with the gillette box.
