  2. I have ordered 6 packs of Chinese Schick injector blades, and 1 pack of Japanese Injector II injector blades, and a few synthetic shaving brushes...

  3. Not sure a lot of people share my thrill in scoring this cartridge razor - but I sure am pretty happy about it :)

    What we have here is a Wilkinson Sword Profile "Mk2" - by my beloved Sir Kenneth Grange :)
    This razor came out during a short stint in the mid-80's and was for some reason also referred to as the "Contact".

    I've seen maybe two come up for sale this year but they went quick and for more than I wanted to pay so was rather stoked when I got this NIB one for $16.

  5. Clubman talc has a great scent and is the best talc I have tried so far. Hope it works out well for you as well.

  6. I forgot where I read it but I heard talc is very nasty to breathe in

  8. The Contact was the German product name for Wilkinson Sword Profile range, and subsequently for the Schick Ultrex/Ultra...

  9. Thanks! I wonder why they didn't go with "Kontakt" (like they did with Wilkinson "Kompakt") :)

  10. What was wrong with Profile or Profil? The German Version. In Australia Wilkinson Sword used the product name Pivot and and then Shava. Coincidentally, the Pivot product name was used by Schick for the Ultrex/Ultra in Spain...

  11. Ah yes, I have some Shavas :D

  12. If you shake some on a warm dry flannel then pat it gently around your face then you don't get clouds of it everywhere.

  13. I never heard of putting talc on your face.... I just did some research on it and they say that talc is very harmful for the women when they use it in the you know what area

  14. Does the Atra blade fit this handle? Very sleek design.

  15. I believe it's the same design as he used for the Royale...and if that's the case it will take, to quote @Sabre take "Atra/Contour/Slalom/Vector, Schick Ultrex/Ultra/Pivot (sold as Wilkinson Sword Twin II Plus in the USA) and Wilkinson Sword Profile/Ultra Glide/Pivot/Contact carts..."
