Early Schick.....Before and After

BEFORE





AFTER






Is this a Type B?

Thanks!​

 

Looks like one. A B-1. Nice find. I believe they called them "Repeaters".

Excellent clean-up! Have ya tried it yet? Nice for when you're travelling!

 

Very nice clean up!

 

Wow... she really cleaned up nicely! A rather rare razor too. Great find!

 

Nice repeater.

 

If the repeater mechanism is working well that is a a real awesome find. If it fails, you can still manually load the blade.

 

I hadn't seen one of those before. Super nice find. I also love the fact that it cleaned up so nicely but still has a nice, warm "glow," at least to my eyes. It's not quite a patina, just the weight of age. Looks great.

 

Thanks Guys!

I haven't shaved with it, yet? I will give it a go tonight!!! As far as traveling, I wonder if these could get by TSA. It would be sweet if it would because I think I could easily load 10 blades inside. That should be at least 10 weeks of shaving!

I loaded it with 8 Personna blades and it repeated perfectly.

 

I wouldn't risk it getting mauled by the TSA foremost; it just isn't easily replaced. But, I bet you'd be guaranteed for it to raise a flag b/c they won't know what it is. As a side note, I usually travel with an L1 injector (relatively easy to replace) and only once had a problem. It was in a leather case in my carry on and it got questioned as they didn't know what it was. Once I took it out and showed them it was a razor, it was no problem.

 

Um.... WOW! What a cleanup you did!

 

Great find! Enjoy it.

 

Excellent clean-up by the way.

 

Cool razor and nice cleanup. So is it a heavy or light razor?

 

It is really heavy for its size. It is one of those razors that looks huge in pictures. When you see a size comparison gives a different perspective on it.

 

Awesome job Jacob!

 

You are going to tell us your cleaning method, right?

(even if it was just Scrubbing Bubbles and elbow grease!)

Quite the transformation!

 

Too cool!

 

* As a WARNING do NOT use this technique on a Gillette razor or any other Schick!*

In those pictures all I did was soak in dish soap and water, then Scrubbing Bubbles and a toothbrush, and a cotton ball rub down with Tarn-X.

In the picture below I used Nevr-Dull and a lot of hand polishing with a microfiber polish cloth.
