Capçal d'una maquineta d'afaitar Gillete
Procedència
Estats Units d'Amèrica
Durant la Primera Guerra Mundial, el govern dels Estats Units va encarregar a l’empresa Gillette (llavors coneguda com Gillette Safety Razor Company) la creació d’una maquineta d’afaitar pels soldats, que seria subministrada entre l’equipament bàsic. La inclusió d’aquest producte servia per combatre els efectes de la guerra química, ja que la màscara de gas s’ajustava millor a una cara ben afaitada. D’aquesta manera, durant el decurs de la guerra, Gillette va subministrar més de 3,5 milions de maquinetes d’afaitar als soldats, així com desenes de milions de fulles d’afaitar, en dos conjunts diferents: el “khaki set” i el “metal set”. Al mateix temps, també va posar a la venda un seguit de conjunts d’afaitar que es podien adquirir en diferents comerços, els beneficis dels quals servien, entre d’altres qüestions, per donar suport a l’esforç de la guerra.
En aquest cas, aquest conjunt molt probablement representa un d’aquests que es podia adquirir en comerços com a particular, ja que no apareix imprès el concepte “Property of US Army” en cap de les seves parts.
