That is an awesome looking set. I do not have one of the that style in the hutch. Looks like you are right that it has probably never been used. Well played!!!!! Can that one be used with the modern Feather SE blades?

Fuzzy, or some other experts, is this VC4 or I am wrong?
And did someone know how it shave?

Beautiful set you got there! yes, it seems to be a VC4, the "newest" autostrop model and the only one with a solid guard bar. I don't have one but as far as I know it can be used with modern Feather blades, which have the inner cutouts resembling the "valet" cutout of the original vintage blades. The one I have, the VC1, is the only model that can also be used with a de-spined & modified GEM blade, as explained in detail in Brian's great overview, at the above link. Let us know how it shaves!

Beautiful razor. It is most definitely a VC4. The VC4 was the last of the series and is the only Auto-Strop with a safety bar rather than an open comb. It should take the Feather FHS blades just fine.
The VC4 is also the mildest of the Auto-Strops. I've heard it called "the Tech of the Valets."
You have a pristine set so handle it very carefully. The gold plating is extremely thin and will wear off if you stare at it too intently (or so it seems).
