What's new

Unmarked Schick O type. Ideas?

Greetings all. I picked up what I thought was, and what appears to be, a Schick type O (Japanese?). It's unused, had a metal blade blank in the head (Blank is thicker than I've seen on E, L, & M types) and came in a sealed plastic bag vice the bubble pack/card. On the surface it appears to be a type O Japanese, but there a re no markings on it anywhere (See pictures). And nothing (Markings) seems to have been rubbed off or removed as there's no finish loss or wear. It's new and unused. Odd. Did a couple internet searches but came up with nothing. Any ideas what I have and why it's not marked? Thanx.

Here's a marked version for comparison (Barrowed this from someone, don't know who, but thank you). Note head marked "Schick" and handle marked "Injector" which are missing on mine-

Ahhh. Okay, thanx, I appreciate it. I believe I got it from the same seller as you did. Whilst he/she is not dishonest, the description isn't totally accurate either, especially since others have informed seller of what it is. Oh well, it looks nice, and enough Chicks came with it to last me a year :001_smile I loaded up a Plus Platinum in it and gave it a go. Not real impressed. Razor feels nice in the hand and handles well, but doesn't give a close, smooth shave without applying pressure and a lot of buffing touch ups. Which then causes some razor burn. Have some Personna twins on the way, will give them a try in this.

Cheers,

Mark
