An EverReady '25 set with a '14 head, it was produced that way. It's in the production nickle plated brass touring case. Soap residue and all on the blade case.

Model C AutoStrop "Special Set"
1925
more specifically the razor is a model VC1, $1 model
These sets were noted for being given to VIPs by newspapers. This particular one is imprinted with the "Menominee Herald-Leader". I believe before I used it it was NOS. The strop is NOS and in the box.

Kampfe 1914 Identical to Hero '14
It was their first model designed to take SE blades. This will definitely be sent out for replating.

Valet VC3

EverReady 1904 another definite for replating. I'm pretty sure it was designed for wedge blades, but I modified it to take SE blades just fine. It's a very aggressive razor.

I recently found this in the wild at an antique store. I have never seen this before or heard about it anywhere. Research has turned up next to nothing. If anyone knows anything about this razor post in my thread here: viewtopic.php?f=6&t=52115.

rakha1,
If you are talking of a commercial product from which you hope to make a profit, please post anything about it in the Shopping forum. You might also like to read the Posting Guidelines, as it seems Rule #4 might apply.

Otherwise, welcome to SMF. Tell us about the Darwin Razor.

Schick injector razor Type D, the first Schick to be called an "Injector," lighter than its Magazine Repeating Razor predecessors that had a blade-feeding mechanism in the handle. The handle on this model opens to access the blade and clean that area, so you don't need a "finger" on your blade pack to open the razor and change blades.

1954 Z 4
Year and quarter of my birth.
The last production of the 1940s-style handle.
I will have to see how it polishes up. I've seen worse come out pretty good after a good toothpaste scrubbing and some Fltz. If not too bad, I will use it as-is. If needed I will have it refurbed and re-plated.
Photo is from the eBay ad.
