Gillette's Found In The Wild

The flea market treated me very well today. Two Fatboy's, one cased and both are in great condition. The third is a 50's super speed in the wrong case. The case is in good condition and I have a homeless blue tip looking for a place to live.

Wow, what a find. Being a flea market, you probably got them for next to nothing.

Thank you sir, they were economical priced by a motivated seller.

nice!

Nice. I think that case is for the black tip super speeds. Blue tips came in a case with a lighter blue tray.

Congrats! It looks like they will clean up nicely!!

It has been a very hectic month or so with no spare time for hunting in the wild. No yard sales, estate sales or flea markets. I was due for a good score. So today while stopped at a traffic light, I saw the sign for a estate sale and had to go. Found these three razors in the bathroom closet behind some shampoo bottles. Two Fatboy's, one above average and one user grade in a broken case. But the prize was a D-1 Toggle in outstanding condition. Dot in red, all numbers are still in black and the knurling is sharp. A light coat of soap scum protected it well for all these years. I looked everywhere but could not find the case. It will be a nice addition to the den.

dang, what a score!

Awesome. Hope you stayed to chat abit and try to find out more about the owner.
