Available is a Gillette 1934 No. 88 Silver NEW Long Comb Double Edge Safety Razor in great overall shape. Nothing bent or broken - arrives sanitized and shave-ready. The hefty handle of this manly shaver has a solid weight to it that feels right in your hand. Classic shaving - classic style. This set was originally imported from France, and was finished and sold in England years ago. 

This beautiful shaver has been carefully restored, hand silver polished, ultra-sonically cleaned, and sanitized bringing it to Shave Ready condition for your pleasure. The TTO works well, and interestingly there is a retaining ring on the inside of the handle which keeps the TTO end from coming out of the shaver.
