Today's Antique Shop RAD - Friday Razor Pics

[RobAtSGH]

Poking through the cases just up the road, and we come across this unusual find:

Schick Simplified Repeating Razor, model C-1. Needs a touch of spit and polish, but no bent teeth, has all its parts, and isn't pitted/corroded.

Head in loading position, blade plunger extended.

Loading gate open, blade holder removed.

Blade magazine inserted.

Patent stamp:

A little MAAS and a soft rag, then a buff with a jeweler's cloth should do 'er. Then I need to go dig out some injector blades.

Pretty neat thing you got there - I can honestly say I've never seen one of these before.

 

[Lamboy]

Me either. Quite the contraption ain't it.

I've seen them pop up here on B&B once in a while. That one looks to be in great condition. Congratulations on the score.

As many parts as there are to the thing, and the complexity of the assembly, I can see why they gave up on this design in preference to the fixed head injector with the plunger in the blade dispenser. Honestly, though, it is a cool beast considering it's still perfectly usable for such a fiddly product.

That's a pretty nice sore there.

Hey, it gets me three shave-nerd points all in one - single edge, injector, and open-comb.
