That doesn't work in the UK.

My first razor was a Schick, they used to be sold in the UK.

My first doctor as a kid in the 1950's was a Dr. Schick.

Why not? Seems you understood it.

The brand hasn't been available in the UK for a long time, maybe 30+ years. So a lot of people won't have heard of them.

I’ve never heard of them, although quite clearly Ted is very knowledgeable on the subject and has enlightened me, so I’m very grateful to him for sharing that info.

Yep, thanks Ted - I had a really good laugh at the original post after scrolling past it, reading the long and detailed explanation of Schick, the razor company, and their history.

A great lesson, which made the original post hilarious to go back and read again.

I get it, obviously Schick is a brand of safety razors by Wilkinson Sword, a subsidiary of Energizer Holdings. It was founded in 1926 by Jacob Schick as the Magazine Repeating Razor Company. He sold this company in 1928 to start another company bearing his name which marketed his newly invented electric shavers. The Schick electric shaver company was sold in 1981 to Philips. In 1926, Schick introduced its highly successful single blade safety razor system, that stored twenty blades in a steel injector. While second in sales to Gillette globally, Schick is the top selling brand of safety razors and blades in Japan. The Schick brand is used in North America, Australia, Asia and Russia. In other markets Wilkinson sells the same products under the Wilkinson Sword brand. Schick also markets shaving gels.

Singularly the most comprehensive response to a comment on this forum, ever. I'm in awe.

I suggest @tedfoxxx is recognised with a suitable title. Something like 'Official Form Answerer of Questions' or OFAQ.

Any question, any time mate. You put it to me and I will google a key word or phrase and scroll up to half way down the first page of google results in search of an answer.

The truth is out there.

He probably would - but we have to wait until BM has published the voting process and rules

Pretty sure he’s nearly ready to go, now
