A beautiful razor from 1907 featuring open comb guard and balanced handle. The standard set was produced for the man who wanted to shave themselves and aided in Gillette's cause of making shaving accessible away from the barbershop and convenient for businessmen. Teeth are straight and ready to shave. Original silver plating requires constant upkeep so we upgraded the finish with superior Rhodium! Rhodium shines just as bright and white and will never tarnish. Super durable, aggressive shaver, this set has been cleaned and sanitized.
Original wood case has been revitalized with a proper application and hand buff with shoe polish to bring out the natural luster. Metal slide lock on case still intact and working. Threading is smooth and functions perfect. This razor set has been professionally restored, polished, ultra-sonically cleaned, and sanitized bringing it to Shave Ready condition for your pleasure.
