    Picked up my first razor this past week while out of town at "our" antique shop. I never knew that it was such a big hobby. I cleaned mine up last night and finally figured out that it's a 1953 superspeed. I believe the $2 (plus tax) that I pad was well worth it and can't wait to go back and snag the others.

    If they've got razors at those kind of prices I'd never leave until I had them all. Great find!

    $2 + tax for a 53 Super Speed!!! :happy096: FANTASTIC score!!! If all of his vintage safety razor prices are along those lines, I'd be doing a lot more business in the future with that antique shop. :happy088:

    Went and hit 4-5 antique stores yesterday, Mullica Hill area, and came across maybe, maybe, a dozen safety razors, the majority SEs. Not a one of 'em under $30 without a case!!!

    This was our second trip to the shop. The town is 2.5 hours one direction from us but we like going there. I honestly grabbed the razor because it was the only nifty thing that I saw. Once I got home though and started learning more I became really fascinated with them so I'll e going back. Some were $4-$5

    The price really depends on where you happen to be. I was in NE Oklahoma a few months ago and came across several SE and DE bargains, roughly one third the price or what's here in Colorado. I've learned that if I see something I like I'd better buy it then because it will be gone when I go back.

    $4 was the original price but that vender was doing 1/2 off
    Also, I didn't mention that those photos are after I thoroughly scrubbed it with soap/toothbrush. It was really gunked up when I got it. I want to get polish eventually and shine it up really nice
