My entire 1st collection of lady inspired items arrived today!

[April Dawn]

Today my entire set of three Evans mini razors arrived! I am so excited!! They are beautiful, tiny and look brand new other than a little bit of tarnish on the brass lipstick style with case.

I also picked up a Tawn ladies travel kit that includes a Gillette razor that I have no clue as to what kind it is. Picture on the bottom
I only purchase the kit to add to my vintage collection of ladies items and was very pleased to see that everything is brand new and unopened! The only item missing is a box of blades which I will find and fill in the blank spot :) I am now working on my next set and have already picked up one of three ladies long handled Gillette star razors in Pink!

Nice collection April! that Gillette is a TECH....does it have the "etched" Gillette name and logo on top? if so I have the same razor. The Y 2 date code puts it at the second quarter 1953

[April Dawn]

Thank you :) Yes the "etched name and logo is on top!

true, here is the chart to refer to from wiki : http://wiki.badgerandblade.com/US_Gi...ng_Information

[hide][top]1950-1986 (letter codes)

The single-letter date codes are accompanied by a number, which corresponds to the quarter of the year. So 'O-1' means 1969, January-March. Date codes on blades (see above) also continued through this period.

Production Year	Date Code	Models Produced						Notes
1950	40s Style Super Speed (1947-1954)			Milord (1941, 1946-1953)		Razor Date Coding Begins with V-3
1951		W	Black Tip Super Speed (1951-1952)
1952		X
1953		Y

Looks great April, I had no idea they where so tiny. When I see how small they are next to your fingers, knowing how little your hands are, I know they are small.

I don't know about your razors April,but I think the cat in your avatar might be related to one of our cats

They are tiny! They are about 1 1/2 inches long and the cases are 2" long. From what I have been reading about them they were used for delicate ladies areas. The razor blades are super tiny and super sharp! The razors sold for .25cents for 3. The one lady I purchased them from originally thought they were a doll accessory, or made for little people :) I am almost a little person ..so there must have been a reason I was drawn to them.

I am planning on putting together a shadow box to display them in :) I am so happy to have acquired them!
