Schick Super 11 Original & 2018 Super 11 Plus.

A few years ago I purchased a Schick Razor thinking it was a Type N. I tried to get blades to fit but no luck. Looking on the web I came across some Ultrex blades which arrive today. Will try it out as a Travel Razor, I do like its looks.

While looking today for cheaper source of blades , it appears that around 2018 a Super 11 plus was introduced !!, and being sold via Yaqi amongst others. I wonder if avid Cart users have tried this one out.

Tue 9th Nov
Just had a Shave with the 70s Schick Super 11. Using light/ no pressure strokes had a rather good Shave. This could well be used as a Carry On Travel Razor if I find some more blades.

That's an original Super II from the 70's, they released later versions. The non pivoting Super II is still available in Germany and Japan as the Super II or Duplo.

In the late seventies, Schick introduced the pivoting Super II Ultrex or Pivot Plus in Europe to compete with the Gillette Atra/Contour. The pivoting Super II is still produced by Schick in China which competes with the Vector.

The Pivoting Contact/Ultrex Plus is still available in Germany, Japan and Australia.



My latest Super II, for the ladies.

Ten years ago I documented all the various versions of the Super II from the Schick adverts. I can't quite recall, but I think I had every version. However, I had never seen the ladies version but scored it on eBay this summer.

The current versions from the China, South East Asia, and India are the Super II, Ultra, Exacta 2, and Extra 2.

How do they Shave compared with the Original ?

I think the cart is the most important thing, and they are all great.I have 4000 1st and 2nd generation carts.

I am not to sure why, but having enjoyed my Shave with the Super 11, I was tempted to get this Pivot model.

Today I used a Chinese version of the Schick Super 11 plus. I found that it worked best for me with very short no pressure strokes, and attained a rather good close all round finish, Be interested to see how long a Cart lasts,looks as though could be good as a Travel Razor.
