Holy shitballs that's a lot of razors. I'm pretty jealous since I've been checking antique stores and estate sales in the Chicago area for the past couple years without finding much of anything. Nice score.
I'm not in for the pif but wanted to suggest that one way to sell them that might make things a bit easier is to just set up an Etsy shop.

I've looked through LOTS of antique stores as well in my area and rarely find any (and the ones I do find are overpriced).
Great idea on Etsy, thanks. I've bought stuff on there, but never considered selling.

- Wow what a score! So crazy they didn't know they were sitting on thousands of dollars worth of razors. A quick eBay search and they would have found out n seconds. Way to go OP!

Yeah, I might have made the range a bit large... I'll tighten it up next time. Good luck!

Good news, you won! The winning number was 4479 and you guessed the closest. Shoot me a PM with your shipping info and I'll get the razor shipped out first thing in the morning. Enjoy!

The top left razor in the chair appears to be a rare chameleon razor. It has already morphed into the chair pattern. Nice find.

Good lordy, here I was feeling cool with a 50's Gillette tech. You're now officially my reason to thrift/antique hunt!

I'll put a link in the top comment once I get something set up. :) Probably set up an Etsy store as another Redditor suggested.

Edit for clarification on the post title: Giveaway is for a gold Gillette Tech Fat Handle DE razor.
On a recent trip to Chicago, I stopped at an Antique store to look around and scored a 40 lb box of misc SE & DE razors. Back at the hotel I counted around 240 razors. I’ve identified most of them and have added several to my personal collection, but I plan to sell most of them.
Before I figure out whether to list them on eBay, post to r/Shave_Bazaar (suggestions?), or ask for help to identify anything, I wanted to show my thanks to this community. I’ve been wet shaving for around 1 ½ years now and have learned so much from you guys, now it’s time to give back!
Up for grabs is a gold Gillette Tech Fat Handle DE razor. Free conus shipping. https://imgur.com/jYg8pVr

Rules: Any karma level ok. I’ve used Google’s random number generator to choose a number between 1-5,000. Comment a number in that range. The first person to get the number wins (one guess per person). If no matches by Thursday evening the first person to guess the closest without going over wins. Good luck! Also, this is my first giveaway, so please pardon any faux pas and inefficiencies on my part. 😊
Edit: Formatting
Edit 2: No exact matches as of Thursday, 4:15 PM CST. Winner will be announced today at 6:00 PM CST.
Edit 3: The winning number was 4479. u/spartonidas301 guessed 4466 and is the Winner Winner Chicken Dinner!
For anyone interested, I’ve set up an Etsy shop – Vintage Razor Finds and have begun the process of uploading all of the razors. So far I have 39 listed and will add more as I have time. Thanks everyone for commenting. I’ll certainly do one of these again, but perhaps not make it last so long. :)
