PB, you couldn't go wrong with any course of action you chose. It's just too cool IMO! I love the history of the razors we use. I'd be willing to bet most of us do as well. A WW2 era razor? Even better. Enjoy!
Any idea what the metal plate in place of a blade is? If it's zinc it wasn't a strategic metal that I'm aware of.

Glad to see you are going to keep it NOS. It is a nice set.

My travel set has the metal handle. I thought that it was an earlier set then the one with bakelite. They both shave great. !!

there's a clix on eBay now that has a 1942 date on the package and a similar number designation. with that in mind, I think that I might have been wrong and it's possibly a ww2 set.

Tim, did you see the pictures in the COTD thread? You know a lot about the military sets, any chance these were made to be sold at the base PX? It's marked as costing 19 cents.

Tom, I really don' know that much about them, sorry to say. I don't see why they couldn't be sold at the px, though, as I doubt if everyone was issued a razor or they needed a replacement. the interesting thing to me is that both the clix and the gem had the same stock number: 29-r--1035. I'd guess that all razors had the same stock number regardless of brand or type (depending on the branch of service). that would a good research topic if you could ever find the information.
