1940s "The Imperial" Rolls Razor Set

Available is an "Imperial" Rolls Razor set. These are great shavers and collectibles alike. Although Gillette disposable safety razor blades had gained popularity and most of the market there were still men looking to shave with the wedge blades they had grown accustomed to. These blades needed to be honed and stropped like straight razors. This set includes a wedge safety razor blade, handle, strop, and hone.

Lightly restored but the blade has not been honed, thus it is not shave ready.
