    Default Flea Market Haul

    Well, I admit that I spent more than I ever have before at a flea market..and walked away with less items than ever before...

    but...That said...




    Check out the unbelievably cool case that came with the "GB"





    The DE is a Gillette Aristocrat from the 40s. I cleaned it up:




    And, the "Lather well, shave well" required almost zero work. I need to hone it up!





    The two large razors are 19/16 and 17/16. They need some work, but, being near wedges theres a lot of steel to work with...

    Boy howdy... I am looking forward to my 3 weeks+ off in June!!!!!!!!!!!

    Awesome! That GB is very cool, and the others are nice too. The Aristocrat looks brand new. Now I want to go to your flea market...

    I really like the GB. Have one with broken scales, and it is very close to a full wedge, but it is *only* 7/8 in width. Yours is one damn chopper! Looks like greater than 8/8. Congratulations on your miraculous finds!

    Wow nice haul!! Those two razors are enormous!! Very cool!! I was lucky enough to find one of those lather well W&B's razors in excellent condition too. Those are keepers in my book. And it shaves real nice too! Congratulations!!
