Description
H C Hansen Slug Shaver. Shaver stands on a flat metal base. In the centre of the base, the body of the mechanism extends upwards with a semi circular tray at the top. There is a right angle which enables the angle of the slug to be changed. "H C Hansen / Patented / Jan 20 1909 / Boston Mass" is marked on this. The shave has a lever which enacts the shaving. On either side of the body, there is a catching tray which connects through the middle to catch the lead shavings.
