Schick (razors)
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
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.[1] In 1934, Schick introduced its highly successful single blade safety razor system, that stored ten blades in a steel injector.[2] While second in sales to Gillette globally, Schick is the top selling brand of safety razors and blades in Japan.[3] 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.
