Shaving with the JFK Razor - 1921 New Improved Gillette Safety Razor Kit

The Kennedy Family, and JFK in particular, have always been a fascinating group of people to study. The Kennedys are like an American royal family, full of success and tragedy. As a fan of history and shaving with vintage razors and other products, I decided to find out what JFK used to shave with. I turned up a couple of razor sets that JFK used during his lifetime. Both were in fine, gold plated travel kits befitting a man of his stature.

I found a Gillette shaving kit which was very similar to the first one that JFK used, only not as fancy. It's the same razor made during the same era in a travel kit that matches his.

Let's see what it was like to shave like a future President.
