Schick repeating razor

Michael cushion · Monday March 5, 2018

hi everyone,
I've been looking at the schick repeating razors (a,b and c) and I love the concept and history to them.
Does anyone know if you just buy a normal pack of schick injector blades or is there a special type to use in these razors?
Also if anyone knows of one for sale please pm me.
Thanks
Michael

As I know, you just put normal injector blades and... enjoy in your shave! [emoji6]

Thank you that's what I was hoping but wanted to check before I took the plunge. Now just need to find one in decent condition without extortionate prices.

@Blademonkey just wondered if you'd have any ideas to answer my question as you're the most knowledgeable man I know?

Normal injector blades, but injecting them from the handle can lead to a jam and that can be a real pain in the neck to fix. Blades can be inserted manually into the head.

I have a watch alert on ebay for Schick razors - I watched in amazement at how quickly the prices rose for the repeating razors Hope you find the razor that you are after.

Thank you. How do you manually insert them? I assume there's not the bit to insert the key for the blades or am I wrong?

Thank you. I've looked for some of the later ones like the j but even they have shot up. Thank you hopefully there will be something come up

Manually. Eject a blade from the magazine and manually push it into the head. Not very elegant, but it works. I've never tried a Schick Proline B-20 magazine (without a key) but it might work...

Thanks, didn't know if that was possible without damaging the blade of slicing a finger

You have to do it carefully. That's part of the fun using ancient razors...

+ 1 on that One....Many a Person has Permanently Jammed Up their Repeaters Using the Internal Magazines..The Original Blades are a Tad Thicker..Modern Blades Fit Fine Hand Loaded..You OFTEN have to Flatten or Tighten So to Speak the Sprung Head ( Blade Holder ) on a Flat Piece of Wood..Just Press it Down Easy Like..

They are Very Nice Shavers..The A Type was My Preferred Model..Design & Shave Wise..

Was hoping I'd be able to use the internal magazine too but wouldn't want to damage the razor . Is this just because of the different blade thickness? Thank you for the tip on the head tightening. @Fergiebilly

Yeah..Modern Blades WILL DOUBLE FEED..You May Get Away with it for a Moment..But..Its Skull & Cross Bones in My Books..The Mechanism Can Pick Up Two Blades & Lock it & Jam it to Hell n Back..Water Can & May Get in there as Well in the Long Term..Most of Em are On USA EBay..

@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.
