Thread: US Army straight razors

Clauss out of Fremont Ohio made straight razors that were standard issue for Marines in WWI. I don't have one but, one day if it's meant to be, I will own one these razors.

I have an Imperial that says Army Navy on it, but I think it was just a selling point.

I believe you are correct in that it was a selling point for the American market. I doubt the US government would have bought US military issue razors from a German company. I do have one of those also because I like the etching. Bonus, it shaves well too.

Yes, there are a surprising number of companies known for their straight razors that contracted to make German military issue daggers circa WWII.

yeah i agree its just marketing
but genco is a great razor (just dont tell anyon else), id be happy to own regardless of my army background
but if you are interested check out the gillete KHAKI set, old style razor, blade bank, mirror, tacks, case. i finally acquired a complete set, which i understand may have been military issue WW1
some have markings" property us army".... i've been looking for razor with us army marking but they are rare and often over priced
i'm really not much of a collector but the khaki set is special.

Hey, new here. I have just been looking for info about an "Army & Navy" razor that I recently acquired and that led me to this thread.
Idk if anyone has any info on this "Eaton" brand razor, but I haven't been able to find anything about the brand at all.
