Thanx for the pics Guido. Those razors are definately similar looking to the Neillite. It is quite interesting about the possible link to the Sheffield company. The Neillite also says made in the USA just like the ladies razors. Hmm I had noticed a couple of other WWII razors also made of bakelite and thought perhaps it was because of the weight factor - a soldier being on the move wouldn't want a lot of extraneous metal bits I suppose. But, the ladies razors being of bakelite makes me wonder now if there was a 'phase' of time where bakelite was simply popular for razors? Also, this razor is very light (I went to weigh it but my scale batteries are toast - I will pick some up soon!) and there may have been a point where folks thought that a very light razor might have benefit? (Although it is quite light, the material seems quite strong. The razor is still in excellent shape, screws together firmly, and 'feels' quite solid when being used.) One other thing with this particular razor is that each side of the head has a different style of guide bar - sort of a medium grade ( I don't know the correct terminology for these 'combs') on one side and a larger more open comb on the other. I have not noticed that on other razors, but then again I am sort of new to this. I think I have more questions now than before lol!! Thanks for the input on this Guido.
