Early box containing five cut-throat razors with ivory handles and steel blades. Maker is W.Edwin, of Sheffield, England. Each razor has a day name etched to the side of the blade, so that you can read them in the box: Sunday, Monday etc. Two of the razors are missing, namely Tuesday and Thursday. Basically, the razors are in very good condition. All have some dark spots (not rust or pitting - just water stains) to the steel, but only one has a spot of rust on the blade - and even then, it is nowhere near the cutting edge of the blade. The box is original to them, being dark red Morocco, lined with black velvet. The box has a burn to the lid, and the hinges are missing. The catch is OK. Box measures 18 cm by 8 cm and 4.5 cm high. Early 20th century.
