Bakelite Rotbart Box & National Shaving Set

WWII German Brown Bakelite Rotbart Box & National Shaving Set. A beautiful, 100% original World War II era German personal hygiene shaving set (Rasierzeug). The set is housed in a textbook mottled brown bakelite container measuring 9x5 cm, manufactured by the legendary brand Rotbart (Rotbart-Mond) and fitted with a robust integrated piano hinge (pianoscharnier). This field-used set is paired with its original black bakelite safety razor handle manufactured by the quality brand National, an original vintage blade store, and a full packet of period Orcan razor blades. Complete personal care sets like this provide a fantastic look into a Wehrmacht soldier's daily frontline routine.

This Item
The Safety Razor: Inside the container is a 100% complete, original black bakelite safety razor assembly (handle and head unit) explicitly manufactured and marked by the brand "National". It remains completely functional and free of cracks or stripped threads. The Bakelite Container & Condition: Crafted from mottled brown bakelite, the lid features the crisp, prominent embossed factory logo "Rotbart Mond Extra", mirrored by a sharp layout on the interior lid. To remain entirely transparent: there is a small, honest piece of bakelite missing from the front-left corner (linksvoor). Despite this field-wear flaw, the piano hinge functions smoothly, and the box still closes perfectly and holds its contents securely.
The Blades Hoard: Resting on the bottom of the container is an original period "Blue Gillette Blade - Made in Switzerland" razor blade. Additionally, the set includes a 100% complete cardboard store containing 10 original "Orcan Rasierklingen" packets. This wartime store features beautiful graphics, specifying the 0.1 mm blade thickness and the original period retail price of "Das Stück 5 Pf" (5 Pfennig per piece). Markings & Numbers: The exterior bottom of the brown bakelite container is deeply and crisply stamped with official wartime bakelite material/mold numbers, guaranteeing 100% period authenticity. Overall State: A very honest, combat-used field survival kit. While showing minor physical damage to the box corner from active wartime service, it maintains excellent historical character and eye appeal.
