"New" razor

[Rustolium]

Just received my Gillette military razor. Don't know anymore info than that. I did come in a nice Bakelite case. The handle is a fluted bakelite deal, thinking about making a brass or stainless handle for it.

It should be a tech, if that helps.
something like this?

It's similar to that one. Everything is different though, haha. The case is slimmer, and the razor bed is chrome instead of black. Still kinda cool.

I am assuming it looks like this. These were contract Gillette Tech razors made during WWII.

That is the exact razor!

Was that the only kind issued during WWII?

Excellent job finding the right one, that's the kinda stuff that makes this community such a good place to be a part of.

No. There were probably a dozen variations of Tech made during WWII. But, Techs were the ONLY models Gillette made during that period.

Well tried it out today. This razor was a pretty disappointing shave Just didn't work well at all.
