Hey Jim - I guess great minds think alike Just bought a Schick on Ebay as well. The seller did not mention a specific model, but I think it's an E5 (correct me if I'm wrong)
..Nice, Nice & Nice Man.. That's Defo a Type. G 1..It has the 2 Patent Numbers on the Left of the Spring.. Billy..
Guess you're right - I checked the seller's pictures again and found one that shows the two patent numbers on the head. Didn't know that the G-model also came with a black handle ... I have seen only turquoise, dark blue and amber so far.
It could be a G. Check and see if it says Shick Injector or Eversharp-Schick. If it is Shick Injector I would say it was an E5. E-S means it is a G. I have a navy G. It looks black until you get it in bright light.
Took advantage of the sale over at Popovleather and picked up a couple of front-carry card holders; Chocolate with tan stitching; Bourbon with brown stitching; With today's deal/sale they are selling at $24 each with free US/Canada shipping.
Ok, finally found a Hydro-Magic that wasn't priced high. Also NOS Schick blades in the same order. I guess $11.49 wasn't too bad to pay for both including shipping. Looks like all it needs is a good cleaning.
My HM was rough like that, but it cleaned up well. I really like it. Good buy. http://jrshaving.blogspot.com/2014/02/eversharp-hydro-magic_6.html
Ordered a blackbird polished razor from Blackland. My first all SS razor. The Timeless OC is the next on my wish list!
I ordered a Stirling Finest 26 x 54. Everybody has such good things to say about these knots, and that particular knot is a little bigger than most of my brushes, so I kind of HAD to try one. Bet it's going to have a big ole bloom. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
I hit the button on this BIN - it's from 1961 when the Russians put Yuri Gagarin into space to usher in the era of space exploration. Can't wait to get it honed and ready to shave.
Like hundreds, I assume, of other people I am now (since they went up for sale about ten minutes ago...) waiting for two RazoRock Hawk SE razors; A black one ($24.99); A chrome one ($19.99);
Have one coming in chrome. Traffic has the site incurring some problems????? Let me add to cart, then said sold out. Had to try about fifteen times. Then it went through. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk
Oh great - a few minutes ago I wasn't even aware of this razor's existence, now I ordered one. Thank you very much, Mr. @Darkbulb
