I found this military issue shaving kit at an antique shop last weekend. These Khaki Sets were made by Gillette and sold to the US government, and were standard issue in different versions during World War I and II. Gillette produced 3.5 million razors and 35 million blades for US forces during WW I alone. This one has great provenance with the original owner’s name and ship assignment on the backside. The serial number on the razor matches the 1918 year of production and the USS Maine was in service as a training vessel at that time. Pretty cool bit of history!
