So I am at my barber buddy Jerry`s and he has a couple of boxes of NOS Valet blades. He said I could try a blade out of each package, so I brought one each home. The Valet pack has a used blade in it, but the Florsheim looks mint. Is there a chance the Florsheim would be usable???

Absolutely! But strop first, and remember fresh carbon steel feels very tuggy but settles in, so don't discard it after the first pass just cos it feels a bit harsh.
I dream of someone stumbling across a big stock of NOS Valet blades, maybe a case of 1000...

I have no leather strop. How would I strop it?

Try palm stropping or jeans stropping - and get a Valet strop to unlock the full magic!
