Available is an Empire from Wilkinson Sword, in gorgeous condition. The razor set is from the days when disposable blades were still new- thus this set has tiny straight razor blades that need regular upkeep.
Everything works and is mechanically sound. These are great shavers and collectibles alike. Lightly restored but the blades have not been honed, thus it is not shave ready.

History: Wilkinson Sword was established in London, England in the 1800's. A manufacture of swords, they quickly moved into cutlery as shaving became prominent in the latter half of the 19th century.
Vintage safety razors pack some of the most bang for the buck, but knowing if they are fully functional, hygienic and shave-ready is a different story. This razor has gone through our complete tune up process. We first clean the razor in our industrial ultrasonic machine to remove any soap scum, mineral deposits and grime. Disassembly is carried out for the best results whenever possible. Next we carefully polish the inside and out of the razor, bringing the vintage metal up to a high luster. Mechanical adjustments are made to ensure the best functionality of the razor.
