    Talking 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!
