Schick type K1 "Lady Eversharp"

The handle is a bit more pink than it looks in the photo.


Those blades have been relegated to "display only" status.
The modern blade I used had 19 shaves on it already.



This is a terrific razor.
Mild but efficient (got a BBS tonight), well balanced in spite of the extra-long handle (because it's mostly plastic), and the "Hydro-Magic"✻ feature is actually useful, not just a gimmick.

---

✻ The Hydro-Magic feature (not entirely visible in my photos above) is a lever that, when flipped towards the head (see bottom half of image below), loosens the blade holder by 2 millimetres or so, and simultaneously pushes up a little tab that pokes through one of the holes in the blade. This keeps the blade from falling out when you rinse the head under running water (the "hydro" part), even though the blade is rattling around loose inside the head (the "magic" part). 

With the lever in the normal position (top half of image), the head firmly clamps the blade and the tab is pulled back out of the head so that it does not interfere with the insertion of the injector key and blade replacement.
