Kit, Shaving
Kit Connection:
A possible later addition to the maternity kit would have been a razor. Razors were used to remove hair from the mother before the delivery for hygienic purposes.
The collapsible nature of this particular razor made it extremely portable. Convenient removeable blades allowed for a sharp edge every time. Its metal construction meant that the other parts could be sterilized easily.
