    Straight up Classics Jim! The golden color of your vintage Veg coordinates well with Jason's @jtspartan 2019 30 DC LE brush. How well do the synth knot and The Fat get along?

    Nice @stuartganis ! I've run a few Personna Lab Blue & Med Preps through my Fat Boy, too. I see those Feather Hi Stainless in the basket. Those and Kai are my #1 choice.

    Thrift stores, if they have it, will most likely be the cheapest places. Garage sales, possibly. Ebay, but don't get sucked into paying high prices as I've seen some go for around $25.00 or less. Just gotta be patient and look for the best deal. Of course cased sets will have a higher price on them, usually.

    RyX DoH!

    The cool thing is they may look bad "in the wild" but nearly all the cruddy vintage I've found cleans up with just hot water and Dawn dish liquid. Gold washed old Gillette razors tend to have that thin plate worn through from use. The nickel underneath, and it's the same finish on Fat Boys, holds up well. I'm going to PM you an auction site to watch. Better prices, less competitive than the bay. Doesn't beat finding at your local thrift, antique, or estate sale, because there you can pick it up and be sure it's not damaged. Personally I've never given more than $15 for an adjustable Gillette DE. Haven't passed up many but I shop at dusty, out of the way places.
