    A while back I got this Schick razor and have a question about it. I have seen Schick 500's, but all of them say 500 on the head. This has the Hydro-magic head, but no 500. Could this be an early Schick 500 before marking them on the heads? If it matters, it does say "Pat. Pending" on the bottom of the head.

    Mine says Schick Golden 500 on it and is a HydroMagic.

    I have several. Some have black handles and some have cream color handles. At least two say Eversharp HydroMagic on the head, one says Eversharp Schick on the head and several say Golden 500. I probably have at least five different types of cases too. You’ll find a good variety.
    I think the chrome head on one of mine might say 500 but it’s stashed away so it didn’t confirm it.

    RyX DoH!

    Mine looks just like Jim's @Jayaruh HydroMagic. No case to compare.

    Don't know if he still has it - I sent a yellow handled HydroMagic to Tom @twhite.
    I think it was stamped "Lady Schick".

    The yellow one is a "L" type (rectangular handle)(1965-80). The one in the original post is a "J" type (round handle)(1958-64).

    There was a black handle "L" type HydroMagic but all I've ever been able to get my hands on is a couple of the yellow ones.

    You have a rare set. Congratulations and thanks for posting. I had never seen this case before. Didn't know Eversharp had a version. I have a Eversharp grey handle Krona and a Schick Krona that I am very proud to own.
