I shop, I score!
« on: July 20, 2014, 12:27:24 PM »
Well, long story short it goes like this.....

My motorcycle stranded me on the freeway (tire gave out), and she needed a full tune.  $900 later, I get my bike back.  On my way home I took a little different route than normal and spotted a little hole in the wall antique shop.
I decide, why not?  You just never know what you might find.

I look here and there, not seeing anything that interests me, and as I'm leaving, see a pair of Rolls Razors.  Both were kinda shabby, but I'm up for a challenge.

I ask the guy "how much?"
He says, "make me an offer"
"How does $20 sound to you?", I ask.
"Sold"

I'm not sure if these are the Viscount or the No. 2 model - but $20 for a couple of razors just ain't bad.
So - off to the hones and MAAS, let's see if I can make something of these gems....

You did good.  It looks like it is in good shape.  Kindly let us know how it shaves.

Nice find!
People are not limited by the circumstance that they are born in. They are limited by the size of their dreams. Show them that their dreams can have no limits and in turn their accomplishments can be limitless.
