They were one of several companies that produced military razors during wwii for the us government On a cardboard case that i. Simplex and clix were common, neither aggressive They carry over the covered blade tabs from the original design for barbasol but the plate and handle seem not subject to patent as similar designs are seen in the national and simplex razors. Since picking up the phoenix bakelite slant i've looked at the material in a new light It always seemed a cheap material, used mostly on budget razors, but it serves the purpose well
While the paa and merkur 45 are obvious modern versions, it seems every producer, gillette, gem, clix, star. Yesterday, i scored a clix five hundred with the original box, bakelite case, and blades from an antique store for $20 The razor is practically brand new The top cap and base plate are metal and the handle is bakelite I have searched, but haven't been able to find much. Top row left to right
Gem junior, gem junior, gillette gold tech, gillette pre war tech, gillette post war tech, 7 o'clock made in england, neillite 400, slant stroke, and another simplex 7. This one was included in a small lot Has what looks like either a bakelite or plastic handle I am curious as to when these were made Is anyone familiar with a clix razor made in usa ? Everyone's face skin, beard christi's, growth pattens is different
Both could be right or wrong. First off mods this razor is not for sale, it's just drool candy Several years ago i got a clix razor in a lot that had some gillette new heads Since i didn't use clix with my handles i sold it for cheap here Before i shipped it i gave it a test shave and it was terrific, i instantly. I ran into an interesting acquisition
Thank you for your help!
