Much earlier. 1950. It was succeeded by the Push Button circa 1958.

Here's an ad from October 1950.

Nice.... earliest I had seen was from 1954. I have seen the 1958 pushbutton ads.

LIFE magazine for the record.

Sunday Shave- 8th July

Omega 11137
Lea Classic Soap
Schick Type F
Schick S/S Single- Japan [ 12 ]
Lea Classic A/S Lotion

I have learnt not to try rushing Shave with the F, perfect for a leisurely Sunday Morning as not out till later. Not really a lot to say after using this Razor, other than it is a shame that there are not more of them about.

Pre: Cold water face wash
Brush: WDC-8, Maseto 24mm 2BF
Soap: Tabac
Razor: Gem MMCP
Blade: Gem Stainless ptfe
Post: Cold water rinse, Tabac ASL

I know the scent of Tabac isn't for everyone but is there a better performing high street soap?
If there is I haven't found it.
Happy Shaving one and all.

Sunday's SE Shave


Proraso Pre Shave
PSC Caffeinated Shave Cream
Jayaruh #284 Synthetic
Gem 1907 Lather Catcher
Original Gem Cutlery SE
CWR
Thayers Peach WH
PSC Caffeinated AS

I started off with Proraso Pre Shave. The PSC Caffeinated Shave Cream face-lathered well with the Jayaruh #284 Synthetic brush. I did two passes with the Gem 1907 Lather Catcher Razor with an Original Gem Cutlery SE blade and ended up with a close, comfortable shave. After a cold water rinse, I finished off with Thayer's Peach WH and then PSC Caffeinated AS. I am clean, smooth, and refreshed...

Beautiful brush!

Great photo!

Veddy nice. I had a Uncle that was on the cover of Life! Always loved that magazine.

That brush is awesome! Did you skate on the boards?

Beautiful. Looks like a proraso and pushbutton day coming up tomorrow!!

That razor is looking good. I missed it so I bought another one awhile back. Lol

Thanks!

Nice have a great shave!

Sometimes it is good to get a F....

Wonderful shave as usual! Nuff said!

Always is ! The Push Button shaves like a Featherweight to me. Veddy smooth.

Yeah man....I dug the scenario......Another romantic I see!

Who

Whoa!!! You just ROCK MY WORLD!!! I hope you are sure of that date for this ad.....Please tell me you are...Please!!

I had told someone, that I saw an advertisement from 1952 so that would make this my Birth Year Razor....They told me it didn't come out until 53, and I was just trying to score a Feather Weight...So I went back on a Safari looking for that eary 1952 ad, and I could never find it again....So I started doubting my sanity, that I had seen the advert at all...
This one in 1950 makes my day!! And I am veddy happy to call this great razor my Birth Year SE....I've always been a big fan!

Actually I also read somewhere, that the Feather was originally released as a GEM 50th Year Anniversary razor Special in 1948!!! But I haven't been able to prove anything earlier than 1953....TIL NOW!!!!
