I bought a big lot, 21 razors, and there was a bunch of Gillettes, this set was never used, I think! Soap still in wrapping paper and the brush have not yet been broken in. The silodoors really shine and, as usual, pictures do not make this set justice! I picked it up really cheap, $38 for this beautiful set. I'm not using the soap, smells really weird after all those years, or the brush. I do intend to try the razor, though.
