My stepfather had this razor in a dresser drawer for years. Since he died it's been in my dresser drawer for years. I've never used a safety razor. Can someone tell me anything about it?

that razor is in amazing condition!
Going to let the gurus handle the ID, but WOW what a razor. I'd start by guessing early 40s based on the knurling, then more specific based on notched/un-notched, etc. Never seen one quite this pretty before.
First of all. welcome to B&B!
Secondly, that set in amazing! It is a early solid bar Aristocrat that has been identified also in Regent Tech sets. You have the shipper box and the original blades. PM me and I will suggest a value. Beautiful set.

The lack of end caps would put it as the earliest of all solid bar Aristocrats. That would put it as pre-WWII or the 1941 range.
never seen one, but I second cfriend's thought - my guess: 1941 Aristocrat - no end caps... similar/same as the the 1940, 41 Regent Tech.
What a beauty!

As someone suggested in a PM, I opened one of the blades which bore an L-4 marking, so it appears it is a 1941 set. Thanks for your help in identifying this.
Great find!
