They aren't too easy to find, I've never seen one listed for sale anywhere. I picked my first up a few years ago, not knowing how rare it was. Then a few months ago, I saw another one locally and asked how much...$3. "I'll take it". Along with my Blue Tip Rocket, they are my most unique razors.
Here is a little video I made a few years ago, after my first one. I had no idea what it was, so posted to ask if anyone knew.

Brilliant! I imagine it was meant as a travel razor. I would love to know what the original packaging looked like. Thank you for sharing this.

Around where I live, Jeff, when the antique stores do have razors, they are usually in awful condition at inflated prices.
The secret has been out for a while now. My only great finds now are the occasional yard/estate sale, and even the estate sales are catching on. I'm just glad I have the few vintage ones that I really wanted before prices started to get out of control on the bay. B/S/T here is AWESOME though. OK it may not be heavy traffic, but I've seen some really good deals on some quality stuff.
