Schick TWIN blades?

[Buckler]

Any one seen these?
Got it in a buy from a second hand store along with a slim and a bore brush. $5 sound ok?

They are Schick twin blades. Iv never seen DE twin blades before. I guess it kind of defeats the purpose, or argument we have against the multiblade cartridge razos; the following blade/s dont have any lubricant to protect the skin, just blade. And thats what wet shaving is all about.

Gave a ....shave, but not close enough, but then i dont know how old these are (the edge could be corroded). I had to do extra passes to get areas i dont normally have to. Im still singing the praises of 'DERBYs'. The ROCK! Nothing shaves me more closely and more comfortably then a derby. But thats the great thing about wet shaving, isnt it. You get to find the blade that suits your face and hair, the brush, razor, soap/cream, prep etc, that suits your face and beard.

O and another plug, I love my red tip ss!

Looks just like a normal DE to me. If it takes two DE blades (one stacked on top of the other), can you show a picture of it please?

They are real, twin edge. Were not a commercial success, but, they actually shave pretty nice. I tried them for a while, they produce more "traction" than the standard single-edge but the results are very very nice.

I see what you mean. I thought the razor was designed so it can take one or two normal DE blades (stacked). I didn't know that 'twin' DE blades existed that resemble a two blade cartridge.

No, two stacked blades would not have the right gap between the two edges, and there may be other issues.

Yes, they are real
Tried them once or twice some time ago. Interesting, it's the highest praise I can find for them.

Thanks for the extra pics Mr edge.

Yeah i would describe it the same, more 'drag' but not in a bad way.
I found them ok, a bit above interesting, different feel on the face. But not a close shave, had to make them work.

Who would have thought 'twin' DE blades.
And just to clarify, the top one is slightly smaller so as to have a gap between it and the first one passing across the skin.
