Type L razors were produced between 1967 - 1984. There is a lot of variations but can be put into distinct categories depending the date range produced with a few exceptions.
Some key pieces of information are that the early ones from 67 - 69/70 were produced by Eversharp and the ones produced from 1970 on were made by Warner Lambert. During this run the typical Type L known as an L1 came with 3 distinct logo styles and a such we can put a date range on the majority of the Type L razors based upon this. We can also group them into 3 variants also since with each logo change so did the way the Type L1 razors shaved.
The first date range is from 1967 - 1972. These have the larger Schick lettering with a triangle under the word Schick as seen here.
The second date range is from 1972 - 1982. These have the smaller Schick lettering with the logo underlined as seen here.
Finally the last range is 1982 - 1984 these go to a solid large style logo the same as seen on the later Type N and Type O injector.
With that the first 3 variants will be based on these razors, any razors that don't share these logo styles will be designated as their own variants unless otherwise stated where I know how they shave.
1st variants - Schick large lettering logo with triangle under logo.
Style 1 - This razor is the precursor to the Type L1 and was only produced for a few months in early 1967 before being dropped and later reintroduced as the Type L1 around Christmas of 1967. Produced 1967.
Style 2 - This is the flagship injector from this period referred to as an L1. Produced 1967 - 1972.
Style 3 - This razor was most likely was marketed as a ladies razor and has a purple handle. I am of the belief that this razor is sometimes misidentified as the blue handle L4. It is the purple handled razor in the below picture. Produced 1971.
Style 4 - This was a promotional razor produced for the 1972 Olympics sold as a Championship razor. It is also referred to as an L7. Produced 1972.
