Anyone want me to find something?

I'm heading to the antique store on Friday and I really have no clue about straight razors but I know this shop has at least 6 different straight razors available. I'm heading there and can take pictures if anyone is interested in a personal shopper.

Probably best to post pictures of what they have and the price asked so I can give you a better idea, bit if there are specifics you are looking for, let me know.

 

Sounds like fun - our own personal shopper
I'd say, if you got the time and want to, snap photos of what you see and post them here for people to see and maybe give advice on them

 

Will do. There are several straight razors and at least 1 GEM SE razor at the shop. I'll post and see if anyone is interested.

 

If they happen to have a good condition Red Tip in original case for $22.50 I'll take one.

 

If they have one of these for $40 or so, buy it!

 

Depends on what they are and at what price.

 

Don't pass up any reasonably priced old DE blades, especially stainless ones.

 

Anything Dubl Duck would be a nice find, especially with the original case. Or a Gillette Goodwill. Happy hunting.

 

As always it condition, condition and condition as the three most important things to look for.

 

Thiers Issard Spartacus for me please.

 

If you come across a NOS Tanfuji western style 13/16 full hollow let me know.

 

Sorry buddy. I'm going to bet that they are sold out of those.

 

Let's see what you find

 

BTW.........Thank you for offering to be a shopper for all of us. Even if you don't find anything for us, that's very nice of you to offer up your help.

 

Jamie you must be drinking some of that good scotch from over there lol

 

Any pictures of the potential haul?

 

Here you go. Not as great condition as I originally thought but there are a few that I would pick up for myself.
The GEM is from 1912. The Kreiger is in fantastic shape as is the blue masonic razor and both of the pearl and imitation pearl handled ones. I was able to get the Gillette one that I saw initially for $20 vs the $22.50 they were asking. I'm sure there is some wiggle room on the razor prices, so let me know if you want anything and I will get it and ship it to you. Just cover the purchase price and shipping.

 

oddly enough not al of those are vintage razors. Kreigar is a modern production razor, and it seems to me is actually a razor shaped object. The first one is lacking of any marks on it, which is a little odd. The Griffon and the Gem look as though they may have a little life left in them.

 

I know one was made in Pakistan and the Kreiger and Griffon are German.
