Match book razor – another novelity

Just some photos I found from an old eBay auction. I’m assuming that these could be printed with advertisements for anything, and that the actual razor was known as the “little shaver”. Judging by the printed instructions there should be a small package of shaving cream packed with the razor, but that isn’t in the photos.

No shave of the day 24th January

Because reasons, thats why.

Keep HIM FIT with a “COMFYKIT”

The ComfyKit is – or rather was – the most complete kit on the market. Or at least they claimed to be.

I have to admit one thing; I would love to have this kit today when I’m travelling for work or on the Go.

Everything a soldier (or sailor) could need while serving in the field or aboard – including space for writing supplies to write letters home. You can see some photos of an original Nathan Comfykit here.

If anyone offers quality reproductions of these – preferable filled with the gear – I’m seriously tempted to get one. It’s a more complete solution than the Khaki Kit.

A novelty safety razor; the Yawnmower

It’s amazing what you stumble over while semi-randomly wandering the interweb – like a novelty razor shaped like an old push-mower.

I have no idea how it shaves – or even if it shaves – but I wanted to share the photos I found.
