Wilkinson Sword Empire Razor set

I acquired this Wilkinson Sword Empire Razor set recently for a song, in very good original and virtually unused( if ever) condition, here's a few photographs as it arrived; 



The oak box in very good condition but much in need of a clean and polish.



And it's contents, on pigskin strop in silver plated holder, silver plated 'Empire' razor, box of unopened unused blades, card lid insert and instructions for use and care of strop.



Removed from box, blue velvet lining is in excellent condition.



The 'unopened' blade box,



And it's contents.



The razor before cleaning.



Box after a clean, sand and polish



And it's contents



The internals showing blade holding arrangement



And it in blade release position




With blade released ready for removing



Makers marks to rear of head assembly



Blade packaging front and rear



And advertising insert for 'Zero shaving cream' 




Outer advert



And advert 'blurb'



Front of instructions



And rear



Strop after re-dressing in it's polished silver plated holder
