Here's another old Italian shaving soap, a bowl of YONG dating back to the mid-to-late 1960s. Very popular, it was sold at STANDA department stores, Italy's equivalent of Woolworths.
The razor is an interesting one: any guesses?
Have fun!

The razor seems a '60s superspeed to me,one of those flared bottom, color coded models (Red for tough beard,black or silver for regular and blue for light).
(But i'm definitely not a connoisseur,maybe some collector can be more authoritative about that).

That's what it looks like, but it is not. :wink:

The razor is a TTO made in Korea.
