Chrome came off New Razor after only 5 uses!

Yeah, you know those cheapskates over there at the Bel-Air Country Club... always looking to cut corners.

I've actually seen these "single use" Schick disposables out antiquing before, though the ones I saw had just plain white covers and weren't branded with anyone's logo. It makes sense that a place like a country club would have had these on hand, though, for members who wanted a shave but left their own razor at home.

I'm no Schick expert, but the ads I can find for Schick's Krona-Chrome blades seem to run from about 1968 to 1974, so that's probably about the range of time you're looking at here -- possibly later if they continued to make them but shifted advertising dollars over to newer products.

great info Poter, i did not find anything from my resources, Shick dont even have it classified.

So I should not look in to getting this razor replated.

NO, I WOULDNT WASTE MY MONEY.

I think the Bel Air Club did its guests proud. If you compare it with the single blade chuck away I picked up in our 4 star hotel in Istanbul a couple of weeks ago. Even though it is made by Shark, who do make adequate blades, this is not something I would put near my face.

meh..."disposable razor," given away for free. You probably should have *expected* the chrome to come off.

It was intended as a convenience for guests who had forgotten their own equipment.
It was never intended to be used for more than one shave.

Getting a disposable razor replated? Sure, go for it.

Make sure you also have the blade resharpened.

As a status symbol, a rhodium-plated disposable razor is hard to surpass.

Are you kidding??? This is what the Hilton and Hyatt give you.

"hello, room service? The chrome has worn off my razor. Send up a bellboy so I can beat him as a warning to the others."

Doing a bit of onedownmanship, that Hilton one looks a whole lot better than my Istanbul one.

That's probably what was used at the factory!

Think if I contact Razor Emporium they could do the Razor REVAMP Process. Then do the Rhodium Razor Plating. Maybe they could even sharpen the blade.
