Found some nice old schicks in southwest wisconsin.

I was in La Crosse WI and found something I've been trying to snag for a while. The solid metal handle schick.

This was my only purchase. I passed over the following, in case you're interested and are in the area.

pretty common stuff here,

getting better

let's take a better look at those brushes. one says it's made of bone.

and here's something you don't see in the wild that often

many more brushes and shaving mugs. I only saw 1 DE, and it was a Star. No gillettes whatsoever.

These are sitting in La Crosse at the Antique Center.

The first photo of the old injector...is that handle aluminum?

It's the solid metal handle schick type G w/ gold plating. I'm not sure what the underlying metal is.


I think you might be thinking of the aluminum handled type F shown in this pic. That's a different animal altogether.

YES! That F is what I was thinking of. I just got one of those old boys and it shaves really good for me! Good feel to it too.
