So what's the Difference?
Some people often look for vintage or antique items. But what's the difference between them?
Well according to a well known search engine, many posts site that for an item to be Antique it must be at least 100 yrs old or older. Whereas, a vintage item is viewed somewhat differently, there are some that view vintage items after 20-25 years, others even to the point of 40 years.
And then there is the category of Retro. What makes somthing Retro? Well apparently Retro items may have no age whatsoever. A Retro item could be fresh off the injection mould line but be in the style of a bygone era.
So when it comes to Razors, soaps and blades I guess they fall into all these categories. I personally believe I have 2-3 Antique razors, a handful of Vintage Razors and stash of the Retro kind.
Me on the other hand.... I'm definitely Vintage....
Ever considered what category your collection falls into?
