Description: Hard to FindTransitionalDurham Duplex Razor in KitVery Good Condition This is a Durham Duplex Razor kit in its original box which, in turn, is in its original box. It comes with the original 12 page booklet that tells the buyer how to use the razor as a "safety" razor or as a traditional straight razor (using the converter, which is included). This type of razor flourished during the period when shaving technology was transitioning from use of the traditional straight razor to, eventually, the two-sided safety razor in the first half of the 20th century. Note: This razor was sold and purchased earlier this year. The U.S.Post Office lost it in transit and it spent months suspended in the grips of USPS storage. Mailed on January 25, 2024, it was eventually returned to us on April 6th of that year. Its over-two-month voyage left a bit of wear on it, but not enough to damage its remarkably high quality.Please see our photos.
