Thread: Gillette prison/psycho razors and key .......

.
.
Finally! I have found both the razors and the key to unlock them. I had put them in separate places.
It took me 3 days of looking to get them together again!
The key is inserted into the bottom of the handle then turned to the left to remove the razor's head. Then a new blade can be inserted.
At least it was an attempt to keep the prisoners from slicing each other's throat.

OMG - I never knew such razors existed!

In retrospect, they make sense. How did you ever get your hands on them or, maybe I should ask your lawyer?

Dead men don't talk.

Very cool. I never heard of this before. Thanks for sharing them.

you have date codes on those bad boys?

That is really interesting. Thanks for posting! Links to any additional information or research?
And did you buy this or keep it as a souvenir?

I just showed that to my daughter. She is in nursing school. That would make for an interesting discussion when they do clinicals in psych ward.
I too am interested in the date codes.

Never heard of them, but totally cool!

If ANYONE would have such an oddity, it would be you Randy! You have all the cool stuff!

Very similar to my Gillette Big Fellow in operation I think except the "key" part stays in the handle. I like that better than the traditional 3 peice style as it seems less figgitty when changing the blade.

Very cool, and interesting.
