Thread: The Gentleman's Set

This is a very nice pair of Ivory scaled razors. I really like the way the monograms are opposite so as the box is opened, everything is upright!
The man I bought them from inherited them from his aunt. This is what he told me about them:

"They belonged to William R.P. Clark, a San Francisco doctor who was a good friend of my aunt's and also related to her by marriage. I met Dr. Clark only once, in 1947 when my sister and I visited that aunt in SF. They lived in the same apartment tower on Russian Hill that had a great view of the Golden Gate Bridge. He was 78 then and I believe he died in the 50's. That's about all I can tell you. If you google him you'll find a 1928 paper on tuberculosis that includes a comment from him."

Kind of cool to know something about this man. They seem sooo shaveworthy! Almost like you could strop them up! Thanks!
