I got this today, and the seller has stated that it was jammed, so i got it for a decent price. sure enough it was stuck good, but looked mostly ok besides that. I used a paper clip to get in there and disengage the caught spring, and finally go it all apart to see what its status was.
the spring looks ok, and still has a lot of force. there was a little rust where it contacted the side.
the remains of the blade holder were a mess, a total loss. had not seen one like this that only had one side. i assume the other side was cut or broken off previously.
Col. Schick got the idea for the design of these razors form guns used in WW!, so it is only fitting that i got out some of the gun cleaning stuff to get it all cleaned and oiled inside.
I got a Schick B1 today
