This razor has a square sterling silver body with fine hammered finish, swivelling head with open comb guard and a pull knob on bottom.

The original Schick Repeating Razors were made by the American Chain and Cable Company for the Magazine Repeating Razor Company in 1926. When Col. Schick decided to follow the dry shave road in 1928, he sold his interest in the Magazine Repeating Razor Company to American Chain and Cable, who continued to make and develop the razor until 1945.
