“The best shave you ever had seems poor beside a Schick shave…”

Big words, but now that I own one, I can testify that the Schick Type B – as is shown in this 1929 advertisement, makes for a damn good shave.

And while I can get two weeks worth of shaves with a modern blade, Schick didn’t go overboard and overpromise on the 1929 blades – instead promising a mere four to ten shaves per blade. But with 20 blades in each clip, that was still a lot of shaves for just 75 cents.
