Hello, I will start out by saying I have no idea what I am doing. I want to get my husband a razor for Christmas. He collects them. And he has told me he would be interested in getting a safety razor that is military issue. I know he likes Gillette safety razors.

Is there a way to tell which one are military issue rather than just normal civilian issue? When he was going on about it, he did say the packaging would say military. But honestly I am lost. I want a nice one, not broken.

I found one on ebay, but it is packed different than any of the others I have seen. Did they used to come wrapped like this rather than just in an eye glass looking case?

If anyone can offer advice, or a way to research these I would be incredibly grateful.

here is the ebay one
