My dad and FIL both born in England so i don't know who to ask, what were the most commonly used vintage razors in Australia ?
Also what razors did the ANZAC troops in WW1 & 2 use ?

Well you are honestly the only one I could imagine who would be able to provide an answer! Kudos!!Advertisements in Australia across the years show all the common Gillette (and other brand) razors available for sale. Given the historic links to the "Mother Country' of England we have tended to have an over representation of the British made Gillettes. I have, for example, a British Bostonian presented to an Aussie who later served, obviously he never took the razor with him, as well as an open comb #15 set presented to a worker from their employer on enlistment.
Gillette made blades in Australia, out of a Melbourne factory, but never razors as far as I'm aware. I know that they were issued Techs in Vietnam but before then I think it would have been the normal razors of the time.
Thanks for the shout out @tim33z
