Schick Safety Razor ID

[fabarati]

Hi. This is probably a stupd question, but I can't for the life of me identify this schick safety razor I found earlier today. Can anybody help?

Looks like a Schick Platinum!

Interesting find. How does it shave? My guess is it would be a later version of the Krona, perhaps for the non-US market?

To be honest, I have no idea how it shaves. I just recently got interested in proper wet shaving, and then I find this in the parents bathroom.

I live in sweden and it says it's made in holland, so that could be it.

It's just like an Astra.

It is indeed a Schick Platinum, which followed the Krona but did not last long due to the advent of the cartridge razor.

I bet it shaves nice!

See the links below to other posts that mention the Schick Platinum, or "Plastic Fantastic":

Thanks for the find, mate. All I got when I searched google for schick platinum was blades.

I'll have to learn how to use it.
