Thread: Has anyone ever used a Schick Proline?

I found this by accident searching online and I'm wondering if anyone has heard of it or tried it. It appears to be a less expensive Feather AC style.

A google search turned up nothing....

Didn't know it existed. Thanks!!

Does look a lot like a Feather.

Also, its made in Japan.

I wonder wether the blades are made in Japan as well (which they likely are) and, if so, who makes them.

There appears to be some Japanese lettering to the right of the Shick logo on the main panel of the box. The razor does look a lot like a Feather AC. Hmm.....

It's not too clear, and it's been a while since High School Japanese, but the second character in the box looks to be the kanji for sword/blade/knife.

I Agree, it looks remarkably like a feather ...i wonder if the feathers will fit

My barber uses one on napes. Looks a ton like a Feather, and I wouldn't be surprised if it were manufactured by Feather

I sent an email to Schick about them. Doubt I'll get a response. I figure I might call them next week. (not that I actually know how to use a straight yet, but...)

I wonder if the beauty supply selling them has any info on them.

Let us know if you get a response. I'm not sure if they even know about it...it is made is Japan. In the mean time someone founs a good deal on Feather acs something like $70...oh duh, it was you

I live in Japan and have a shick proline. The handle is cheaper than the Feather although other than price they are rather similar. The blades intended for the proline are shick proline blades , I have used them in the past and found them to be fairly smooth but not extremely sharp .

You all might be glad to know that the Feather professional (and super) blades are virtually identical and fit just as well as the stock blades.

In comparison the Feather blades are notably sharper , but the stock proline blades are a bit more forgiving to the novices face.

I use the Feather blades in a Shick handle now and find it to be a winning combination!

Try it out and let me know what you think,

I like this thread and am wondering if there is something even cheaper that will hold Feather blades. It doesn't matter if the scales will fall apart immediately as it would be a rescaling project. $75 is a bit too close to the RG and I believe that the RG can be bought for that price.
