Canadian Schick Confusion

[mjclark]

I took delivery of a Canadian Schick today and trying to classify it according to the accepted typology has caused all sorts of confusion.
Mine was branded "Magazine Repeating Razor Co" dating it as pre-1945 and the spring has flaps and a short blade guard so it's an E type head but has a plastic seamed handle associated with the later G type.
I posted about it here:

Meanwhile there's a thread about another Canadian Schick branded Eversharp (post-1945) with a G type flapless head but a seamless bakelite handle associated with E types.
That thread is here:

So clearly the accepted typology doesn't fit with Canadian designs.
The proposed explanation that they had old stock heads/handles left over that they then put onto their new handles/heads doesn't explain how the "Magazine Repeating Razor Co" razor has a seamed plastic handle which the typology claims wasn't manufactured until years later when the brand was changed to Eversharp.
And from what I read, the Canadian heads are more aggressive than the US ones.

Clearly the accepted typology doesn't work for the Canadian Schicks so how can they be classified?
Also are there any other Canadian variations?

The reason no one has responded to your inquiry is because no one has an answer. The Canadian injector razors are mongrels and so there is no pedigree to discuss. The best minds on here, some who have ceased posting, had no answers when i raised similar questions in the thread you linked in your op.

Yes! I even emailed the guy who developed the typology, but he didn't reply.
It's hard to make sense of how the G and E handles and heads are interchanged in the US and Canadanian models, and that a Type G handle was being manufactured in Canada similtaneously with the Type E handle in US.
How long were they produced in Canada for?
And also how to describe them best on the forum - I thought of Schick Canadian E or Schick 1937...

Don't know much more about the Canadian razors,...I suggest forgetting them and getting a Schick hydro-magic injector. I think these are tne best injector vintage razors. I get incredible shaves with mine.

Don't toss those Canadian Schicks! I get some of my better shaves with these razors and think they are well worth the buying...In fact, I have several and I am really not concerned with the handle, flaps or no flaps, etc. , just the results.
