Now I'm pretty lucky when it comes to hunting down certain NOS Japanese razors, but If truth be know I've been trying for years to find a NOS King Pelican with absolutely no luck not even a sniff, yes I've seen them in nice condition and even close to NOS but not quite there by my standards, well after a long wait this one finally dropped in my lap today a NOS flawless King Pelican and I'm over the moon I can't wait to give her a run out in the next few days, she will naturally have a little run over my finishing stone and stropped before but I've finally got that elusive Pelican yesssssssssss!
Now that'a beauty! Congrats, Jamie, on finally snagging one! Care to give some background on this unique and hard-to-find razor?
LOL Yer cracking me up, I see a vision of you jumping up and down with the shredded packaging floating in the air yelling "I got a Pelican, I got a Pelican"
Hi Kevin, even though there are so many very good and even outstanding vintage Japanese razors out there I would say the King Pelican is one of those premier league razors we know they exsist in all brands, I also know a few owners including our very own Glen, I know how highly Glen rates his and that's good enough for me.
Sooooo pretty! When would this razor have been made? The sparkly scales say 1950's to me, but I'm unfamiliar with the brand.
