Here is a mint Emir traveler set -- but not the adjustable asymmetrical plate version. Remarkable condition for a 60-70 year-old razor. Must have been carefully stored away until now. And I'm glad to take possession of this deco designed beauty.
You can see how the leather case is pristine. Can't find a new leather anything these days looking as perfect.
Sure was well made back in the day. I know there are a few others owned by members here -- but the Emir razor must not have been very widely distributed since so few are in circulation. Unfortunately...
The art deco design indicates the date of manufacture as in the mid-1930s, but it's hard to imagine it survived so well back from that ancient time period. Regardless I'm happy to have had an opportunity to make it's acquaintance. Will report on its shaving effectiveness later this month.
