Thread: Military Razors of new or Yore

Niteblade started a great thread about how your Grandfather would have taken care of their razors: What did grandpa do ??

This took an interest with some others and I am now curious. Does anyone have any pictures and info on Military issued shaving equipment from different countries? They can be of recent and of past. I think it would be interesting to see how things have changed over time.


The following is from the link above and graciously posted by LawsonStone, Thank you.
It is a Gillette series from US Issued WWII.


German Issued WWII


Israel Issued

Here's two from my old posts.
Thomas Turner "Royal Navy Razor"
Thomas W Ward "Army Razor"

Unfortunately not used by our armed forces. I have my father-in-laws Gillette he used in WW2 (Axis forces), I do not know if it was issued by army or if it was his personal property.

My Royal Navy Razor it's been sent off for some overhaulin

Here's my US ARMY sent it out for sharpening this week cant wait to try it. the scales are cracked on the toe end, but it doesnt effect opening or closing.
