    I still hold with Galvanic Corrosion. Probably more common with Zamac head and Brass handle.

    Schick Injector Type I and J reclassification

    Agreed. Personally, I think that the G8 shaves more like an E2 or E3. I think something got mucked up in the Eversharp acquisition and it took...

    The Self Lubricating Razors Thread

    The Self Lubricating Razors Thread

    So the Pearl razors are not listed on pearlshaving.com. TBH, the only reason that I knew the model numbers is that I still have a saved eBay...

    The Self Lubricating Razors Thread

    August 2019 30 Day Rule/Focus Pix & Discussion
