    Dang, I was an ex-member of this club before it even started. I used to have an A, B1 & 2, and C type, back when I was scratching that collector's itch.

    I just didn't care for the way they shaved (back then). My technique may have improved enough over the years to enjoy them now. I just found them to be a bit too aggressive, and the balance didn't feel good, compared to the Gillette's.

    I managed to snatch both of mine for $45 as a lot with a pack of vintage blades on eBay. Took me about 2 months of looking and they were mislabeled. I found them accidentally while browsing a "Schick" search. I was looking for a krona.

    So true. I just found a second one B2 with the closed comb. It too was not listed properly. Got it for $24. I should be receiving it by the end of the week. It only had 2 pictures. So i am not sure if it works. But for that price i can try fixing it and not feel to bad if i mess it up. I can always just load by hand.

    Maybe it's because I'm looking more now but there does seem to be more of them around these days on the bay - which, probably also explains the lower price points.

    At this rate the SRROC is going to surpass the MORS in memberships :)

    I hope i can find an A and C in the future at some decent prices. I am holing out hope to find one of any model in the wild though. That is a real rush.

    Cleaned but not polished. They look rough but they feel great. The B type is slightly more comfortable for me but I had to shave half my face with each to tell because the difference was so slight. I might pull out some polish and buff like mad to see how pretty I can make them. The C type has a scratch on the head. Looks bad but I never felt it while shaving. Both have pristinely working innerds. Smooth like butter.

    This one is in transit to me. It will need more than a little shining!

    You will be surprised. Black means there is still silver on it. Try cleaning with dawn really good. Then try the Aluminum foil and baking soda. Do that 3 or 4 times. It will remove a boat load of the tarnish. Then use your favorite polish and go to town.

    Man this club is growing fast. I am really anxious to try mine out. I have to wait until December ad Bama made me do NOVember and i chose an ER 1912.
    We need input on how they shave for everyone. Also share how to fix them when the needed.
    Repeaters rule.
