Schick repeating razor

@Blademonkey just wondered if you'd have any ideas to answer my question as you're the most knowledgeable man I know?
Thankyou for your kind comment but I see your questions have been fully answered by @riverrun and @Fergiebilly.
Good luck and well done, you have chosen a very good path to go down.
Happy shaving :) P. Sorry for my late reply, I have only just turned my device back on. :)
 
@Blademonkey thanks for your reply. Maybe you could help me with a new question? I have just found a razor for sale however the bottom won't pull out, do you know if this is a common and fixable problem?
It's a common problem with a razor that has not been used or cleaned for a while .is it fixable? It may be with a good soaking and a clean but there are no guarantees but if it's cheap enough it may be worth a punt . P.

Personnaly I Would Avoid Any Repeater that Does Not Pull Out or Open..In Fact..I Would Avoid Any Razor that has a Hint of a Fault..Sellers Often F them Up Mucking around with Em..Very Common..Get a Good Un or Dont Bother is My Advice..People are People & Most Aint that Bright & they Break Em..Then they DONT Own Up Like Children..:D:D

Thanks, maybe best to stay away then. It's a good price so far but don't want to end up with rubbish.
 
@Fergiebilly so it could potentially work if only putting one blade in the magazine at a time? Obviously that takes away from the point of the razor but it could then be used on occasion if wanted? I'll have a look on the USA version then. Is there a customs charge for razors? I've bought from the USA before for different things and sometimes get nothing and others get a very hefty bill.
I Have Imported Well Over 100 Razors from the USA..I Have Been Caught with Custom Charges about 8 Times in that Figure or Less..They are All USA Versions..Schick Razors were Not Aimed at Europe at that Time & Were Normally Brought in By Individual High End Barbers or Retailers in London or Say Paris or Somewhere..:)

Loading One Blade into a Magazine is Quite Illogical as its a Complex Long Road..Also..Loading One Blade in the Mag Can Seriously Jam it Up..The Blade is Thinner & Can Get Hung Up Solid..The Blades Often Will Not Feed through the Exit Slot..Like Putting the Wrong Coin in a Slot Machine..:rolleyes:

As I Said..You Can Get it Away it for a Moment..Then Bang..Jam..Razor Jammed..Another thing..Many of the Original Magazines are Damaged..Most of Em..They were Disposable..The Magazine & Blades Came Factory Pre Loaded..These Razors were Never Meant to be Opened & Closed at Random..They are Not Tinker Proof & Most Folks Tinker with Em & Muck Em Up..These Razors are Also Very Old..Exceptional Design..Its a Wonder they Survive Intact at All..Thats Why NOS Ones Fetch High Prices..;)

But..Hey..Feel Free to Tinker..Its You're Razor..:D:D

Thank you for all the knowledge, I love to know what i can about the razors I own/want to own. I'd rather not tinker as I don't want to damage such a great razor, however I definitely want to own a working condition one still.

I too would like a working repeating Schick, and I am still on the look out for one, fortunately I bagged a Schick B2 recently which I am very pleased with. It shaves really well, but at first when I found part of the spring mechanism was missing I was a bit disappointed. However after much googling and advice from those such as @Fergiebilly it became clear that loading a modern blade by hand was the best and safest option.

Good luck with your search for a repeating Schick, there were at least three I spotted that came up on eBay in the UK recently, one of which is mine now :) http://theshavingroom.co.uk/communi...ry-2018-acquisitions.46206/page-5#post-697940, so they do come up occasionally in the UK on eBay, but prices do vary.

Ebay is your best bet with antique shops second. You need to do a Search here in this sub forum for opinions on the models as opinions differ just as they do on cars & women. Personally, I would recommend a G Model first as they seem to be the most plentiful and give a fantastic shave with the modern Schick Chinese blade.
