    Default What's your oldest NOS?

    Just hoping to see some pics. I want to see everyone's oldest 'new old stock' razors. What's the oldest anyone has seen?

    I have a George Savage & Sons that was NOS until the guy who had it honed it and sold it to me two years ago. Savage was in business for a few years in the 1840's. Photos are in the stubtail club; http://straightrazorpalace.com/269472-post1.html

    dublduck special and c-mon HF

    And by NOS I mean, the packages had the factory seals. The razors shaved great with the factory edge on them even after decades of sitting around.

    Wow awesome straights here already.

    I was really hoping someone would have a Wosty or something from the 1800s and I've seen both haha.

    No original box or packing materials. Even the scales aren't original. But I'm pretty sure I was the first person who ever shaved with my Wade & Butcher Celebrated 8/8"

    Greaves Silver Steel pair in combo box. I honed the one with the smudge in the center of the bevel. Great shaver. The other remains NOS. I've also go a NOS Boker Edelweiss, Puma Fruiser Fruend 1930s vintage I think and a couple of C-Mons, FWE.

    Be careful how you treat people on your way up, you may meet them again on your way back down.

    I really don't know, but assume the late 50's. Fritz Bracth Dovo. Not anywhere near the current 1840's benchmark!


    A nice Wustof NOS:


    Another Fritz Bracth:


    And a Friedour 250th anniversary:


    Almost forgot the Fritz Bracht Dovo 41:


    I seem to be a Fritz fan!

    My Hugalt Works "King's Crown" 7/8.

    Not strictly NOS as from what I can work out it was a store display item, so it had some tarnish on it when I got it. I'm 99% certain that I'm the first to shave with it.

    I'd put its age at late 1800s/early 1900s. The jimps look hand cut.
