WWII era Gillette blades

More blades that appear in black and white in the book, this time from Gillette. Caption is from the book.

The next post will cover all of the blades I tested in foxhole radios.

WWII era Gillette blades, top to bottom the camouflage military issue blade, the civilian “Thin Blade”, and the Blue Blade. All of these had a varnish coating. The camouflage blade is from 1944. This particular “Thin” blade is from 1935 and the Blue is from 1942 but both models were still in limited production throughout the War.
