    Last December, I won this Schick Golden 500 on the TSD Holiday Raffle. It is a Hydromagic, too.

    I cut the end off of it and made it the same length of a Schick G. I was unhappy with the length, so I thought of a way to lengthen it. I thought if I got a 45 APC casing, it would just about fit on the end forming an end cap and lengthening the handle some.

    Today, when I visited @Redfisher in SC, he gave me a 45 APC casing, and I modified the end of the 500 to accept the casing. I think it came out pretty good. I like the longer length.

    Looks good! I'm guessing it ended up a bit shorter than the original J, maybe by half an inch or so, but with the base of the handle a bit thicker and also heavier from the brass. Nice mod and the brass shell casing matches the head colour too!

    Just think, a century from now some collector could acquire that, examine the markings on it, and then go crazy trying to research the extremely rare Schick-Winchester razor... :)
