Thread: Looking for a source for NOS Straight Razor

What a wonderful dream to only buy NOS razors, and have the money to buy them.
There is a seller from Japan who has a large number of these razors for sale, but they don't come cheap

Revisor has a good selection of nos German razors, along with some of their own razors.

Neil Miller used to rate Revisor highly, I have always heard good things about the site.

Well as a nurse she should know that is not true. Ask if the doctors scalpels are new, ask if the utensils at the restraunt is new,, these are not the reasons , now if you just want to pay a premium for NOS now that's a good reason, creepy crawlers on a razor that's used hummm! You don't know where the NOS razor has been either.. Consider that. She must know how to sanitize things if she's concerned, a vintage used razor that is bought from the classifieds will be shave ready which will be the most important issue for you and it will be sanitized before you get it,,, jump in the waters fine. Good luck. Tc

I have found them at Auctions, Garage Sales, Flea Markets, Antique stores, and on EBay… you just have to look.

Do direct her to the mass infection of shavers by used straight razors. I do like your strategy though, tell her about how Ferrari’s are much safer…

Ebay has a lot of NOS razors, just type in "NOS razors" but expect to pay a premium.

Tc made a great point, some restaurants have filthy kitchens but we happily eat there.

Thanks all for the input! I will check out all of those avenues. I am thinking how will she know if new or used unless I tell her right?!

That's right most straight razor guys lie to there wives and if they tell you otherwise they lied again! Heck I just told my wife that MDC had a buy one get two free with shipping and a coupon for another purchase later at 50% off. And did it with a straight face. Tc

If you buy from the popular NOS vendor in Japan, the razor will likely come sealed in the original packaging, often shown in the ad photos. Again, expect to pay a premium for these razors. And, since it is your first razor, it may prove difficult to get all your money back if you decide SR shaving is not for you.

Just some thoughts to keep in mind...

Here you go, if it's OK to post .. rarities You can look anyway.. just helping out a fellow who asked.
