Merkur's answer to my enquiry about building 500 Schick 1941 model F copies:
Dear ---------,
Thanks for your interesting enquiry to reproducing the 1941 Schick Injector Razor Model F.
We highly recommend you to refer directly to Schick Company still holding the rights on that pattern and probably still having the necessary plans and tools for reproducing their razor.
They will for sure be the more appropriate partner to handle this razor project with you. However, we assume that they will ask for essentially higher minimum order quantities.
With best regards,
Jens Zeitvogel

I did respond with information that Schick's patent protection has expired, just like Gillette, who's razor they already make a copy of,.. and in no way seems to be interested in building a razor of this quality. But, I still expect them to decline, as the people there seem to know nothing of the Injector history or are willing to explore the venture. The search for a willing company with small casting, sheet stamping and medical quality machining ability goes on. This razor only has 3 parts! And is a work of Art.
