![]() ![]() Btw, I have never used the earliest version. I cannot recommend them over Wilkinson UK or older Gillette blades, but they are pretty good. I find they either last me several days or over a week and it does very a bit from blade to blade. Insofar as they all contain Teflon and platinum, there is no difference between any version of the Schick Plus Platinum blades that I know of. The phrase, “with exclusive TEFLON coating” is first used in 1976. Dispensers are off white/grey and the tops are painted solid blue for the dispensers of 10s and 15s. The plastic dispenser replaces the metal dispenser. The dispenser is mostly made of metal instead of plastic. Blister packs have the words Super Stainless printed on them. Schick drops the phrase “with exclusive TEFLON coating” and replaces it with “Fits all double edge razors.” Ideally both would have appeared at the same time, but the evidence uncovered in this thread leads me to think that there were delays.īecause of all this I conclude that the question asked by Norbert Sykes was not clear enough, or Elizabeth at Schick was a little confused.The first package dates from circa 1988 or thereabouts. So it would have made little sense to introduce a DE razor before introducing DE blades. When the Schick/Eversharp/Krona DE was advertising, it was a vehicle for DE blade sales. Schick might have started use of the Krona name in 1959 - maybe only internally or in test markets - but in 1960 it was only used for injector blades. For the start date, I found contemporary sources discussing the introduction of Schick DE razors in 1963. Bar codes would not have appeared until the mid-1970s, so we can throw out 1965 as the end date. We can have high confidence that the 1965 end date is wrong, because of razors featuring the 1967 patent design and because gents here (you, for example) have NOS packaging that includes bar codes. Here is one drawing from the patent, but click through for more.

The Eversharp looks like the two-ply center-bar design that most Gillette TTOs use. In the design from the 1967 patents, the center bar slots into another piece of metal. ![]() So that might place the Eversharp pre-1967. I suspect mine is a product of US3376637, filed, issued. The bottom picture of this new Eversharp looks much different than my 3-3/9-M does. | Eversharp ||metallic, eagle logo||(blank)||eagle logo - EVERSHARP||4-2||6-M||50||"A" under center bar.

Case/Packaging/Notes As I understand it Eversharp never really liked Schick as a brand, which might have had something to do with all that. It was not simply a vehicle for coated stainless technology: the original 1960 Krona blades were carbon steel. The Krona vs Schick point is an interesting one: it seems like they experimented with the brand from about 1960-?, but abandoned it sometime after the Warner-Lambert acquisition. All that means that the booklet could not be much earlier, and the style of the 1964 ads seems to match up: for example, Ebony 1964-07. Gillette was last to join the party, even though Gillette ended up holding the earliest patent on the PTFE coating process. Schick introduced their coated stainless steel DE blades in 1963, along with ASR/Personna, both following Wilkinson. As corroboration for a 1964 date, that booklet also shows a Kuhnl-style blade pack: filed, issued. ![]()
