- Description
- Hard leather box for days-of-the-week straight razors. The box has a hinged lid held closed with a small metal clasp and the interior is lined with red velvet. The razors sit in designated slots, some spaced on the right with small pieces of wood, with the days of the week embossed in gold on leather down the left-hand side. The razors themselves have plastic handles with [most likely] stainless steel blades that have a small decoration on the handle beside the blade with “R. SCHLAG N.Y.” etched on one side and “EXTRA FINE MADE IN GERMANY” on the other. Handle with care, razors are very sharp.
