Fun quote: "One of my best Schick shaves, ever!" Gotta love Schick shaves. (apologies if this is not funny, as I am not finished with my first mug of joe yet!)

And honesty during production: "I hate these side by side shave videos." That made me *almost* snort my coffee! Hats off to the team for not editing your footage!!

Nice video, Dave!  If you only own the clone you will always wonder if it truly is the same.  You've hopefully put some minds to rest.  I think there may be one more clone out there.  This Feather looks like an O clone to me, what do you guys think?

The first thing I think is that Dave (aka Whiterook) very likely knows a lot more than me about vintage Schicks (and so does Dave aka Dave in KY for that matter).  That said, the razor looks as much like an L to my eye.  More importantly though, I see this item shown on ebay at prices that range from - fasten your seat belts please - $145 shipped from New York to $180+ $24 shipped from Japan.  Prices like those put my mind to rest real well, but then, I'm pretty happy with the collection of injectors that I already own (including an O clone).

OTOH what does interest me are the "Sputtom Blades".  Separate listings for NOS offerings of these blades are much more affordably priced.  So, what is a "sputtom" blade please?  Maybe my radar's busted, but I haven't heard them.  Are they stainless, and is there anything special about them?

I'm just guessing Mike but the word seems similar to one I saw before that simply meant in translation that it was a coated blade. (Sputtered) Just guessing it may mean the same. I also read that these 'Sputtom Blades" are garbage and tug.
