    Great discussion guys. Thanks for your input.
    Here are some photos. First time taking shots of a razor.
    I noticed some pitting that was not evident in the seller photos. It's not as pristine as I thought which tips me over to using it. I was 99% sure I would anyway, but what's the harm in waiting a day to see what you guys would say?
    Being a toy user my whole life is why my Star Wars collection that I bought at ten years old is worthless. But nothing will replace the joy I had for years imagining I was kicking Darth Vaders' @ss!

    It looks pretty good! I see a spot of pitting, cannot do anything about it IMO, too thin a blade. I still see a slight frown. Get it to someone who can fix that and hone it.
    Shave away!

    It that is a frown (and not some camera distortion) and it does look like it is, then is this still possible that this is a NOS razor?

    There is hone wear as well on the spine...MODERATE though it might be... AND WHAT LOOKS LIKE A SLIGHT FROWN??? I would say 'mint'...but definitely not 'NOS' which unless I am mistaken means: "NEW OLD STOCK".

    Nevertheless it is a real Beauty, and it should be used. They are simply wonderful shavers and should be enjoyed tactilely as well as visually.
