1917 Gillette Original Gold Single Ring Travel Set in Black Leather Case with Script Logo, 2 Blade Banks, & 2 Canisters

A beautiful razor from 1916 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 accessible away from the barbershop and convenient for businessmen. This set features both original soap / brush travel tins, both blade banks, and of course the Single Ring razor itself. The razor is beautiful, and with straight teeth and no cracks is just dying to be included in your collection. 

The very rare Script Gillette logo is in excellent shape, truly a marvel this beauty has survived!
