Schick Type G? Canadian made injector, vintage Schick Platinum plus blade, shave 1


Here is what I am tentatively calling a Type G because of the spring. The Canadian made Type E and this one are anomalies since they don't perform like their American made counterparts. This razor maybe the mythical Type E4 no one has ever seen because of the base plate using Canadian patent markings and not American and thus being largely ignored. Razor is definitely better than an American Type G1 being more efficient. Is it different from a Canadian Type E3 remains to be tested later in the week. That will determine where it gets grouped with Type E or G razors and more detailed explanation why in the dummies guide. End result BBS finish achieved.

very cool Andrew..

Gracias mi amigo

At least we have good memories of loved ones past. And some cool momentos.
One of my favorite razor handles is made from a bullet casing from the honor guard at my grandfather's funeral. So even though he didn't leave me an awesome brush or razor I was able to incorporate a momento into my shave gear. Thanks for sharing the story behind the brush. I feel like it helps keep the good memories alive and honor past loved ones when I share memories with others.

Just getting around to posting Friday's shave. Turned out very close and comfortable.

What is going on with the finish on that Valet Auto Strop?

Very cool back stories on your gear & the memories they evoke gentleman.

Thanks, Gary.

The Fine Snake Bite Shave Soap was applied with the Jayaruh 340 2-band Badger brush. One pass and touch ups with the TNNSER 3d Printed Razor with a Personna GEM SS PTFE blade gave me a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse I finished off with Osage Rub. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...
