A great start to an Injector rotation. Am very lucky to have got this rather minty Schick E2 - Canada WW2 naval issue.
Delivers a quality Shave equal to the best I get with other types of Razor.

Blackland Sabre today. To compare with vintage ER razors, scheduled for the next week or two.

This Schick J3 meets the description of a Golden 500 and came in a case labelling it as one. However, was not inscribed as one, so is just a J3. Shaves very well especially with an NOS Dutch blade.

Inscribed? Where and how were they inscribed? I've seen a few, black and white, but none were inscribed.

I have another J3 which has a loose head, which is inscribed Schick “ Golden 500”.

Well that's cool. What does the "500" stand for, did they only make that many?

Really not sure, it could have been a small production run. I cannot see any real difference between it and the unmarked one , and that came in a case labelled “ Golden 500” !!

Further to my earlier response, I have looked at my J3 that came in a case labelling it a “Golden 500”. The Instruction leaflet describes it as a Hydro-magic 500, and the Razor is inscribed “ Hydro-magic”. Photos attached.
It would appear that there are Two versions of the J3 Golden 500. 1 Golden 500. 2. Hydro-magic 500.
