    It's not nearly as easy to identify a WW II razor as one made for WW I. The WW I sets were furnished in khaki cased sets or the razors were stamped property of U.S.Army. They were also stamped with date identified serial numbers. Gillette, the prime supplier of de razors did not serialize their razors during WW II.

    The razor sold by Gillette during WW II to the government was the Contract Tech. It was identified by the box it came in with a stock number printed on it.

    Here are a couple Contract Tech razors and the boxes they came in. They may or may not have made their way to the Army.

    The best way to find one is to either search ebay or put in a wanted post here in the marketplace forum.
