After what may have been years of war, only two people are left: a man and a woman. They were from opposing armies. I think this represents poetic justice because most wars arise over physical things such as territory or economic conflicts. Something physical, shallow, you might even say material. The material lifestyle has been imposed to them through brainwashing posters such as the ones in the recruitment office. By taking part in the war of claiming material things, the couple (or Two as the title suggests) have established that they too are material beings. They reinforce this statement as they carry one with this apparent uncontainable urge to end up in front of the dress, especially the woman. Even though she thinks she's alone, she still longs the dress to look pretty (which reiterates the shallowness).
Being that the war has ended, they have nothing left to fight for. So in conclusion, because they fought for a material way of life, they are forced to live a life without material goods with reminders and temptations of the material life they have left in their past. (The blade for shaving and the dress.)
