German - Russian's MEMORABILIA Continued:
Toilet items continued:
*
Toilet items used by men.
The far left is a container with a mirror which held soap dish which was filled with a hard soap which was soften with water and used on men's faces so the razor, see far bottom right corner, prevents scraping of the skin as a man shaved his beard stubbles. Next to it is the container in which the razor was held. To the left is early 1900 razor with a removable blade. The item in the right corner is a mirror made of polish metal, I believe.
