AutoStrop Square Shank Safety Razor Set
This AutoStrop Safety Razor Set was one of the first manufactured by the AutoStrop Company of Henry Gaisman of New York City from 1912-1914. The serial number on the razor handle is 603127, which corresponded to that date range. The razor also is distinguished by the square shank at the top of the handle as it enters the razor head. Very few of the early AutoStrops had this feature. The set also comes with a leather strop and a cardboard blade container with two wrapped AutoStrop Valet blades.
The condition of this set is excellent for its age. The snap closure of the case works and the leather of the strop is still supple. The set is a great piece of history by a company that challenged The Gillette Company every step of the way. Please see my other AutoStrop Razor Kit currently listed on eBay.
