So I've pieced together a kit for my first wet shaving experience any advice?

Sorry, NOS is New Old Stock, a term that refers to vintage razors that have never been sold and are in original manufacturers condition. Several of the reputable vendors who advertise on this site sell NOS razors, often as part of beginners packages. I'm sure you would not be disappointed if you went that route.

I see what you mean, but I actually prefer the way my old Wade and Butcher shaves over my newer Dovo. But yeah, definitely can't beat NOS. :)
