    Were razors issued during this period? I assume so but wonder which.

    Also, were SEs or injectors issued during WW2, or just DE?

    I don't think razors were issued during the Korean War to US troops, like they were during WWII. I think the soldiers and sailors had to buy them.
    As to the second part of your question, yes SE's were issued, and I think the navy was issued some injectors. I know that blades were made available at no cost to the men for DE, SE, and injectors.
    I hope this helps you. Have a great day!

    RyX DoH!

    My father is a fan of the TV show M*A*S*H. It's fun to catch the characters doing daily activities like shaving. That could make an interesting research project to see which razors were used during the filming.

    Schick F injector in WWII era khaki kit. Chesterfields are certainly official K ration issue.

    wasn't an issued item, more of a "you need a razor kit and this is what the px has in stock at the current time and date"
