matwho,The E-1 has a flat spring and opens up, the E-2 has a round spring with tabs and it doesn't open, and the Gs have a round spring without tabs.
Any chance you can identify this one? Still not positive which model it is.

That is an E-2 or E-3, I don't know how to tell the difference. The Gs also have 2 serial numbers and the Es only have one.matwho,

It looks like a number under the word patent in your pic.If I go off this: Schick Injector Razors
I'm guessing it's an E5. No seam in the Bakelite handle. Still some doubt though as it's a Canadian version. Patent info, and no serial #.

Yes I see now.View attachment 816974
Patent (year), 1937.
It also looks like the right side of the spring where it locks between the tab as been modified.

It's almost impossible to tell anything about a Canadian Schick. Some have E-type heads and G-type handles, others are vice-versa. They all have a patent date of 1937 and no patent numbers. All I can say is the black-handled, chromed, Canadian Schick is reported to be perhaps the most aggressive of the Schick razors.

Your welcome. Get some blades and get a great shave.Thanks for the information guys.
Ah yes I remember seeing some of these. You can hone them quite a few times, yes. You may be able to use a Star stropping handle to hold the blade, not sure. If it rattles loosely then no, you can't. You can maybe make a stropping handle for the blade out of a piece of stainless steel hydraulic or refrigeration tubing. You will have to saw a slot for the blade and then squash it flat in a vise so the bevel angle will not be too high. Your handle will serve as the bevel guide when honing or stropping. It will always ride on the stone or strop. Never lift it up while the edge is in contact! Very important. Use no more pressure than the weight of your forearm at this stage. If the honing angle is too high then the blade will cut poorly even if the bevel and apex are perfect. You want the bevel angle to be around 18 to 20 degrees for this type blade, I think, but if the steel will support a smaller bevel angle, say 16 degrees, even better. Don't try to use a bevel angle less than 16 degrees. The edge may topple, and the blade will be very unforgiving even if the edge remains rock solid. In other words, it will quickly punish you for mistakes and you will pay in blood. Oh, remember that the honing angle is only half of the bevel angle. The bevel angle includes both sides. You should probably try honing the broken blade first. Gently mute the sharp corner on the edge of your bevel setting stone, first thing. Anyway, set the bevel on a 1k grit stone or sandpaper glued to glass just like you would a straight razor. If you don't know how, see Setting the Bevel with the Burr Method | Badger & Blade.
Then run a progression to 12k stone or 1u lapping film, gradually reducing pressure until you end up finally with only the weight of the razor. If you want to take it to another level, post finish as per How To Use a Pasted Balsa Strop | Badger & Blade. Strop on a hanging leather strop. No, not a belt. It wont be flat enough and the draw won't be worth squat. Before resorting to a belt, fold a sheet of newspaper lengthwise again and again until you have a strip 2-1/2" to 3" wide. Pass one end over a towel rod or other horizontal rod shaped object secured to something solid. Pinch both ends together and pull it tight. Now you have a disposable strop. Not nearly as good as hanging leather, but better than your pants belt.
If you are careful, you could try shaving with it but watch out for the corners. Dont forget to mute them on the side of the rock to make them less bloodthirsty. When you are satisfied that you can hone, go ahead and hone your good blade.
Nice Mark!matwho,
