My first 2 NOS !
Hi Guys !
Lucked out big time last week. My first 2 x NOS ! (Sorry for the Blackberry pic, but couldn't wait to brag !
)
1 x Boker Arbolito
1 x Wostenholm Peerless
Brand new !
The Gentleman I bought 'em from got them as a prize in the early 1950's, tried to shave once, nicked himself very badly...LOL...and put them to bed for nearly 60 years. Minor tarnish, a couple minuscule rust spots due to less-than-ideal storage, but all in all beauties !
Both have very nice goldwash, which I will have to use extreme caution to avoid removing while polishing.
Life is good at times !

I've honed two of the Peerless razors. They are very nice shavers!

Very nice, Smurf. Just don't let Gargamel see them or he'll try to steal such sweet blades!

Congrats on a GREAT score!
I have a Peerless Pipe razor and it is a very nice shaver when honed properly.

+1 on the Wostenholm Peerless razor being a great score. I have two and they are both superb shavers-take and hold a very smooth and sharp edge. Of course, you cannot go wrong with a Boker either! Congratulations.
