The razor is in great condition with subtle blemishes and faint smudges. The shovel head shuts with a solid snap. The comb guard and blade tabs are in great shape. The short handle threads properly into the razor head, and is in good shape with subtle blemishes. It’s shave ready, and it has been cleaned and sanitized.


This is a nifty little case with nothing broken. It is just a hair out of alignment but the lid shuts with a solid snap. The exterior has a nice deep red with light blemishes and a clear logo. The interior is in great vintage condition. Included is one modern AccuTec Pro single edge blade. The backdrop logo is unique and has historical significance. I’m always fascinated by the history that follows:


The C.E. Mills Oil Co. was a Syracuse, N.Y.-based business active in the early 1900s, known for manufacturing industrial oils and soaps, such as "Excelsior oil soap". The firm was likely involved in the sale or manufacturing of lubricants and specialty soap products, with marketing aimed at regional industrial needs.

Time Period: The company was active as early as 1910 through at least 1940, with court records indicating a distribution event involving an estate in January 1940.

Legacy: The company is largely remembered today through vintage advertising tins and memorabilia found by collectors, specifically for their "Excelsior" brand soap.

The company appeared alongside other early Syracuse industries during the growth of local commercial manufacturing.
