I offer for sale this wonderful vintage brass shaving ensemble, all items are brass and as you can see in the pictures quite beautiful. To begin with the razor is a 1917 Gillette Old Type Safety Razor that shines as if it were new. This razor has not been re-plated, just cleaned and shined and it's absolutely beautiful. It is in Near Mint Condition, there is one Tiny stable crack in the handle that I needed a magnifying glass to see, there is absolutely No Plate Loss because the razor is made of brass, the razor has No broken or bent teeth and all parts fit together tightly as they should to hold the blade in place.
The razor stand is in Mint Condition and is approximately 7 inches tall by approximately 3 1/2 inches at the base. This razor stand does not have a mark on it, it is completely made of brass and has a magnificent shine to it. All the parts fit together absolutely as they should.
This never to be found again brass handcrafted shaving bowl was made sometime around the same time frame as the razor, the handcrafting on the outside of the bowl is something that just is not done anymore. As you can see in the pictures the solid brass bowl has a shine to it that only brass has when polished. Both the inside and the outside are in magnificent condition. The bowl measures approximately 4 inches tall by 3 1/2 inches across the top. This beautiful bowl was made in India as it says on the bottom.
The brush, also made of brass is in Near Mint Condition, the bristles are tightly woven into the handle and not losing any bristles, the brush stands approximately 4 inches tall and is also in Near Mint Condition, also included in this great set is a NOS (new old stock) box of five Dublekeen razor blades that have never been opened.
This set was put together not only for the gentleman but the ladies also, nothing sets off a bathroom like shining brass. This fantastic collectible set is one for using or showing off to your friends. As always please be sure to look at all the pictures, also please look at the pictures I posted on YouTube. The entire set is absolutely shave ready, all you have to do is lather up and get ready for one of the best shaves of your life.
