    Thank you Gary! I believe this particular Schick is my favorite Schick shaver. It glides better then the L type. And with the Chinese made blade this combination provides a luxurious shave!

    This particular Schick is circa 1953 - such a great looking design

    I honestly didn't think I needed any splash, the post shave on this soap is just wonderful. But Floid paired well with the post shave.

    The scent on this soap is as expected, amazing.

    Saturday shave:
    Weekend in Malibu soap
    Everready 100 brush with synthetic knot
    Moroccan cedar and mint balm
    Vintage Gillette Blue blade
    1941 Ranger Tech razor

    Figured out that I have this razor in my collection and did not even know it was somewhat rare...just thought it was an early iteration of the more common superspeed.[​IMG][​IMG]

    Reshave to confirm if this was or wasn't the same as the first iteration of the 40s style super speed. Answer is no and I screwed up on my initial impressions. It is a very close shave but no BBS cigar for under the chin. It would probably get someone with finer hair across that line though.

    Technically it is a Gillette under the Rotbart brand name. Cool piece though since you don't see much later model Rotbart stuff like that razor.

    Nice shot. The wiley Eigengrau label sometimes makes capturing the effect of that reflective ice a challenge.
