Antique Valet Auto Strop Safety Razor Set in Velvet Metal Case
Mostly clean; case has some rust, worn black finish; velvet is worn & faded; missing the blades; looks great!
Henry J. Gaisman owned a single edge blade firm named the AutoStrop Safety Razor company. He was President of the Autostrop Razor Co. Ltd. c. 1905-1907.
Valet Auto Strop razors were prevalent in England during the First World War, and also were available in Canada. Montreal and Toronto?
His safety razor was patented in May and July 1904, and was initially sold by the Auto Strop Safety Razor Company, a competitor to razor and blade manufacturer Gillette Razor Corporation, run by competitor Mr. King C. Gillette. When Mr. Gaisman found similar technologies in the Gillette razors, his company sued the Gillette Razor Corporation for patent infringement, which Mr. Gillette resolved by merging with Auto Strop.
