After WWI, safety razors became a commonplace item enjoyed by all social classes. At the top rungs of high society, though, everyday items just wouldn't do. This sterling silver razor set would have fallen into the luxury category, made in very small batches for Tiffany & Co. starting in 1917. Made of the finest silver and decorated with intricate detail, it was made more for its beauty than any other factor. Sets such as this are incredibly rare, and not much information is known about their creation as they were never sold in catalogs like their less expensive brethren.
The early models had more ornate and flourished details to reflect the remaining styles of the Victorian era. The razor head and telescoping handle screw apart to neatly fit inside the case, along with several replacement blades.
The very rare Tiffany & Co. logo is in excellent shape, truly a marvel this beauty has survived!
