Schick Type A, Magazine Repeating Razor from 1926

This is really special. It is a Schick "Type A" injector. Made for Schick by the Magazine Repeating Razor Company. This is the first model of the venerable Schick injector razor! This particular type was only made in 1926 and 1927. Like the Type Bs and Cs, the blades are stored in a cartridge inside the handle. By pulling and pushing the end of the razor, the old blade is ejected and a new one inserted. White it is possible to insert a modern blade into these older types, you have to do it manually. The modern injector will not work.

We ran the razor through our standard process to sterilize it, but we haven't polished it or otherwise touched it. As you can see, the metal is in very good condition. The aluminum body could use a little polishing. The gold plating on the head does have some plate loss. The mechanism appears to work perfectly, although it does not have a blade cartridge. All the other parts are there. 

Attractive and interesting piece of shaving history to display, or perhaps even use!
