Title: I shop, I score!
Post by: Fondlheine 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.
