  1. I do not know if it 'was already' posted in the past, if anything will be 'deleted. These blades were intended for American soldiers during World War II stationed in Italy in 1943. They are available on this site, in perfect condition. 10 blades $ 9.95

    They also have some of the WW2 issued Techs on that site.

    My buddy Dave works for them and if I remember correctly, they are located in Gillette NJ.

    Just looked at those. Hardly looks "un-issued" to me from the pictures. One of them you can clearly see the handle is caked in old soap.

    Oh yeah. They aren't in unissued shape at all. It's been a while since I looked at them, but my first thought when I saw them was that they were way over priced for what they were selling. The company isn't targeting the wetshaving enthusiast, but the Military collector that needs this to make his kit complete at the re-enactment.
