I present the Schick Simplified Automatic.... This model followed the "New Schick Repeater" or B type...The B type was the last Schick razor designed by Col. Jacob Schick... Our friend , riverrun has shown this patent drawing by Jacob Schick on this thread: theoriginalsafety2.com/thread/2287/march-24This patend Applied for in 1929 shows basically a B type repeater with a more advanced internal mechanism. One that never went into production til after Schick had sold his company, name, and patents so he could pursue the development of his dream, the electric razor.. Victor Octavious Rodrigues became the chief designer at the Schick Co. and he implemented this new internal mechanism into a whole razor design that became the Schick Simplified Automatic. The following are a couple patents filed in 1933 and 36....Here we see the c type in full completed development aswell as the C3 smooth safety bar shaving head....Rodrigues was perticularly proud of this smooth safety bar... These are the Pat'ds I have for the C-type... riverrun or anyone else who has other C type patents or info please feel free to add... Schick' patents and influence can be seen in the loading mechanism of Rodrigue's c-type and Schick had secured patents on the injector blade magazines that we didn't see in production til Rodrigues designed the D and E type Injectors years later....But those are a story for their own threads.. One thing I find interesting....This is not an anthology we see here...These different models were not improvments....only different. I believe Rodrigues wanted the C type repeaters and the D and E type injectors all made concurrently. I think he wanted his generation of shavers to have all those choices. But the Schick Co. decided to release them one after the other..and of course it looks like WWII stopped all production except for the Military E type contract. After WWII only production of the E type continued... Shame...it would have been interesting to see the development of modern repeaters...But I guess, by the 1940's, those intricate internals were already becoming cost prohibited...

Hey maan! Not just is the C type too cool for school....I mean that automatic racking a blade from the handle into the head....BUT, These C types make fantastic shavers...and you twist the head sideways and slip the cap on...Drop it in your pocket and go...It's a great travel-jector aswell...
These will hold 20 blades, so a traveling man could fill it and be good for almost 6 months....But the new blades are a little thinner than the originals, so I don't take the chance of a jam. I just load one blade and rack it through whenever I need to change...System works great.
If it did jam, taking it apart is a snap. You take out two tiny screws and it disassembles very easy, once you've done it...
But with modern blade magazines, I don't need to carry 20 in the handle...But I do love RACKING A NEW BLADE through the system...lol!

Almost as fun as a pump shotgun. Thats it!!! Like racking the slide on a 45 and then mowing down whiskers with it! These repeaters are "Bad to the Bone!"

Those are the two patents for the C-type I already have in my collection. ↪US2060243 and ↪US2111739 - I don't know of any others. Here's what I found out about Rodrigues: Born 1885 in Georgetown, British Guiana, a British citizen, came to the US in 1909. In 1918 he worked as a controller at Champlain Silk Mill, by the 1940s he was a 'Business Executive' for the Magazine Repeating Razor Company - I already guessed that... He was 5ft 4in tall, had dark complexion, dark brown hair and eyes and had a scar under the right corner of the right brow. He was of 'Portuguese race', whatever that may be. Someone of his name died in Florida in 1966.

Great info RR...Victor should be a house hold name...even if all he did was invent the E type...but he applied for patents for C, D, E, F, G, looks like everything up to the Hydro-magic....I guess they all use the same injection system as the E, so until the pat. ran out, they would all have to have his name...But still, he's a legend in my book!
