I was searching on YouTube and came across this, looks like this antique dealer didn't know the value either. :icon_eek:
Apologies if it has been on previously.

OMG, $1.60 for a boxed FatBoy... That haul could have paid for alot of my debts right now, if not all of them! I've been in & out of charity shops, boot sales and 'antique' shops here (Northern Ireland) for years now - I've never managed to pick up a single bloody razor - I get the feeling that historically, all us Paddies never shaved! LOL

I doubt Charity Shops would sell them, but I have seen Hospices on eBay selling razors. You can always ask the Managers to set aside shaving equipment that gets donated and offer a good donation yourself for them.
Back when I used to dole out those charity bin liners and collect in a white van, we'd typically take a long wheel base transit to the brim every day. From that I would guess 2/3 would go straight out to the "rag man" and all electricals were put aside for another service to collect. Maybe only a quarter of the haul would get into the shop. I don't recall ever happening upon shaving equipment back then ... it was 25 years ago. I remember at the time, some charities like Oxfam had recruited in electrical specialists and they'd have "Superstores" in some cities with furniture floors and electrical sections. No idea what it's like today, but behind the scenes sorting put only the best out in the actual shop and everything else was moved on as bulk to specialist services.
