We came home from a trip out this morning and found this bag on the back steps with no note or indication as to who dropped it off. I later found out that it was a friend of one of my neighbors who dropped it off. I was able to thank him. He deals in estate sales and knew that I liked shaving stuff.
I took a peak inside and saw shaving stuff. If I find out more, I will post, but for now it is a mystery. There is a shaving bowl and a shaving mug. I noticed two soaps, two brushes, and a Gillette flare tip.
Now for a closer look. The bowl had a puck of Burma Shave Shave Soap and an Ever-Ready boar brush. Everything is dusty. It's been neglected for years.
Burma Shave was originally a brushless shave cream that you just rubbed on your face. The American Safety Razor Company acquired Burma Shave in 1997. They produced the soaps, selling them in sets with a cup and brush.

| Ever-Ready Brush |
 |
| This cup was produced by Surrey and the razor by Gillette. |
 |
| The flare tip is a B4 (1956). |
The following mug, soap and brush were evidently a set at one time. Also, probably never used. They are products of Surrey, the predecessor of Van der Hagen Shave products.

| The "S" is for Surrey. |

| This was a product of Surrey. |
This is the razor after I cleaned it up.
