That's awesome. It appears to be an exact replica of the original Schick handle, he must have had some serious woodworking skills.

That wooden-handled Schick is definitely a keeper, a piece of family history to be passed down as you teach your kids/grandkids the fine art of wetshaving!
I keep going back to my single edge razors. I use Gem Jrs, Ever Ready, and my dad's Schick E. He replaced the handle at some time in the past. It is wood, although I don't know what kind. Wish he were around to ask. I keep it in my rotation.

Yes, that is the one. It's a good little shaver. My brother told me that he had made the handle and passed it on to him. But he uses cartridges and goo when he shaves and passed on to me last year when I asked about a Gillette Tech. The Gillette Tech must have been lost since his passing. I would like to have got my hands on that, but I am tickled to have the Schick E. That he made the handle is a plus.
Oh, the Schick is an E3 as far as I can tell.
but wait! There's more--Schick E-1 , black handle
