Ever wondered how small a Kewtie Ladies razor really is? I did a side by side comparison between the Kewtie and a Ball End Gillette Tech. The Tech measures at 3.25” while the Kewtie is only 1.5” long.
I don’t know; I’m not interested in shaving with it. It came as part of an eBay auction where I was bidding on a gold plated 1970 Gillette Black Beauty.
The only reason I now own a Kewtie is because it was bundled with a 1970 Gillette Black Beauty that’s gold plated.
I think mine was acquired the same way. It was with another razor I wanted. But too long ago to remember. I had totally forgotten I had it until your post. The blades are to rusty to use. Thanks Angelo! tp
It does. It shows a time in history when marketing teams thought a ladies razor had to be as small as possible to be “lady like”.
I just looked up what a Kewtie sells for just by itself on eBay. It seems to sell for well under $10 for the Kewtie razor with case.
ok,i have a brit milady from 1930 that has a short handle but regular sized head.the old type version was similar as well .but not micro sized.interesting..
It was for shaving lady's mustache and eyebrows... It didn't have to be big. Leg and underarm shaving was not yet in fashion.
You win. Here's mine. Edit: for reference, a wee scot is about twice as big as that Culmak goat hair brush.
First time I came across a Kewtie in the plastic case I thought it was a toy. And then I saw one in a box with the illustration. Seems like your naturally hirsute ladies would have to work a long time with such a diminutive tool.
