"Schicks Suck!!!" ... I'm quoting, although it was on another forum ... and I concur*
I would dearly have loved to have got on with them. I spent a lot of money chasing down all manner of them back and had a good number of them at one point. I really tried ... with the Gillette, it "just worked". No fancy angle, no just the right amount of pressure, just pop a blade in and shave.
So, that leaves me with a grumpy face as those bakelite Gs and Es, the lovely Hydromagics, those sturdy Ls, the gorgeous scissor D, the goofy tennis racket and the stick, all no use ... which made me grumpy ... and so I have to exact my revenge by naysaying and sneering whenever the word "Schick" is mentioned.
Martin disparages 1912s and praises Schick, I jibe at Schicks and praise the mighty 1912. It's balance. It's yin yang.
*Yes, it was me ... but hey, if it's worth saying once it's worth saying twice. No?
