A beautiful razor from the 1910's featuring open comb guard and balanced handle. The combination set was produced for the man on the go and aided in Gillette's cause of making shaving accessable away from the barbershop and convienent for businessmen. This set features both original soap / brush travel tins, blade bank, and of course the Single Ring razor itself. One tooth is bent, but it's ready to shave and will preform beautifully! Original plating is in good condition with bassing on the cap but this set has been cleaned and sanitized. This razor, canisters, and blade bank are all excellent candidates for our Revamp service!
