Thank you Discount on my Etsy shop!

[mattface]

Today marks my first month selling on Etsy. It's been a very successful month, and I blame Fedora Lounge and it's users in large part for my success.

So today, to show my thanks, I'm going to offer something back. From now through Sunday, I'm offering a 10% discount in my Etsy shop http://www.etsy.com/shop/SharpmAntiques to all Loungers, and I'll also donate 10% of all sales to Fedora Lounge. Use the Coupon code TFLTHANKS at checkout to apply the discount, and Monday I'll tally up the total and make a donation to the Lounge.

THANKS!

It would be cool if you can find a 195 adjustable or a toggle and put those in your store before the end of the discount

It would be cool if I could find a Toggle PERIOD, but I DO have an 195 in there right now. AKA the Fatboy.

Wait... What do you mean by 195? Didn't you already buy a fatboy from me Chris? That's what's known as a 195, or were you looking for one of the rarer versions like the bottom dial, or red dot version? Again it would be really cool if I could find any one of those rare and desireable razors.

Edit : you're a lucky man because you have many opportunities to find rare Gillette in USA, here we have nothing ... except Mach3

Ah that is the bottom dial version. good luck finding that one anywhere. I mean hope springs eternal, but they are very rare. All Fatboys were known at the time as the 195 (because they cost $1.95 when new) The name Fatboy is a later internet invention.

It's true Gillette's are quite common in the U.S and England, because they were made by the millions, but you may in fact have a slightly better chance of spotting a French Import #15 Aristocrat (like this one http://www.etsy.com/transaction/61687205) in the Wild in Belgium than I ever will in the U.S. I bought mine off ebay from someone in England for a pretty penny. I didn't really want to sell that one, but I do have a lot of great razors, and I did need the cash. Hope to find another one someday it was a truly wonderful razor.
