I can see a stainless Schlieper there, you got a deal on yours man.

Sure did! Still love it

if you purchase from US you can subtract 19% from the VAT. I've bought five blades from thomas and they are all my favorites.These are awesome razors.

What exactly is a NOS razor?

New old stock. As I've recently learned this should not be confused with mint nos... The razor could be NOS and have defects.

Thanks for the clarification friend!

As an example,back in the day I had a huge collection of 100% N.O.S Dorkos,never honed, never touched after they left the factory,But,scales can warp,(rare on those blades) wedges were always loose and floppy,just comes from sitting in a sealed box for 60+ yrs.

Wish I knew you back in the day

I strongly agree. They have a great selection and both Phil and Jane are terrific people to work with. I have bought nine razors from them, seven NOS that have been perfect. David
