Gillette Gift Set | WWI Restoration

Description

This set is the perfect gift for any guy interested in the WWI era of history! Included is a beautiful Old Type Ball End razor featuring open comb guard and balanced ball-end handle. The razor head has been professionally restored by our team of razor experts. The surface has been refinished and replated transforming this antique into a modern usable connection to history! The handle is modern made from billet brass and plated in nickel. These handles historically had cracks due to the press fitting. We have corrected this issue by threading the neck and ball into the handle rather than press-fitting. The threads have been thread locked and will never crack. The teeth are straight and ready to shave, and the finish is stain and scratch resistant!

Included with your WWI replica case is a shave mirror and pack of ready to use Gillette blades. You can't go wrong with this awesome traveler and thoughtful gift!

Excellent

Chuffed to bits with this little set. Unsurprisingly nice and compact, easy to sling into your washbag. The casing appears robust enough to withstand real world usage. For the actual razor, love it, its my first New but it's easily found a new home amongst my other vintages and moderns. Will not hesitate to order from the emporium again, excellent!

Great set!

I was looking for just the pouch when I came across this set from Razor Emporium. I have been thinking of moving to an open combed razor and this seemed like the way to do it. As I was getting this as a case for my other razor,I wasn't sure if it would fit. It does. But,I have now moved over to using the refurbished razor supplied with this kit ans love it. The razor arrived looking brand new. Plating is good and the handle is very nicely done. Everything fits just perfectly into the pouch and buttons up compact and tight. I've used mirrors like the supplied one for years and was very happy it was a nice metal one and not a cheap,easily scratched plastic one. So, quility is great. The razor shaves very well. The kit is well constructed and made. Service was on point. Overall, a great experiance and I'm loving using this vintage razor. Thanks Razor Emporium!

WW1 Kahki Shaving Set

I received mine a few weeks ago and have been using it ever since. Razor Emporium did a fantastic job restoring the cap and open comb on this razor(mine is an F series and is therefore not a military issued razor) but could not straighten out the end tooth on one side of the open comb which if they or l had it would have broken off. At first I was nervous to use it as the 1918 open comb razor has a reputation of being a very aggressive razor but I was really surprised at how smooth and extremely efficient it is, I got the closest most comfortable irritation free shave I have ever gotten with any razor i have used. It is now my go to razor by default. Great job to Razor Emporium!!

WW1 khaki kit with Old type razor and repro handle

I really like the repro handle. I have another old type, original handle. It does not have much grip. I had to go to a milder blade with the open comb.
