Vintage Mid-Century Gillette Tech Safety Razor Set - Rare American Red Cross Issue
Up for sale is an authentic, highly collectible vintage Gillette Tech 3-piece double-edge safety razor set. This is a scarce humanitarian aid variant featuring the original red cardboard slider sleeve box explicitly stamped: "GIFT of the AMERICAN RED CROSS - Not to be sold."
During the mid-20th century, Gillette manufactured these special promotional sets strictly for distribution by the Red Cross to wounded servicemen, hospitalized veterans, and disaster victims. Because they were never made available for public commercial retail sale, they are significantly harder to find than standard vintage Tech models.
An incredible cross-over collectible for military historians, Red Cross memorabilia collectors, and vintage wet-shaving enthusiasts alike!
PRODUCT DETAILS:
- Brand: Gillette Safety Razor Co. (Made in USA)
- Model: Tech 3-Piece Safety Razor
- Handle: Classic nickel-plated knurled metal handle
