Oct 14, 2014 · The Clix 500 (or E-Z Flow 500) with the all metal head is a great shaving razor; one of the my favorite non-Gillette vintage DEs. I find it a medium-aggressive razor, which for me is the sweet spot.

Oct 13, 2006 · Anymore luck on the Clix info? I recently found one in my uncles stuff. Mine has a copper colored head with safety bar.

Safety razors, it seems, made a big leap in popularity during World War II when those who served in the war received shaving kits. I was curious if anyone knew if...

Dec 16, 2016 · While the PAA and Merkur 45 are obvious modern versions, it seems every producer, Gillette, Gem, Clix, Star, even Barbasol, incorporated the material into their products at some time. And lets not forget the many obscure companies that were able to compete in the market do to the economic advantages of a more pliable material.

Mar 7, 2020 · Some parts not all. They didn't make this style base plate on this razor until 1948 and the collar style was never used prior either. They also didn't produce any TTO 1pc razors for the military during the war or afterwards. The military stuff was 3pc razors like the Tech and the bakelite ones that are similar to a Clix razor.
