Schick started in Bridgeport in 1958 and moved to Milford 3 years later. Still Ct roots.

American Chain & Cable made the products Schick sold until 1958. They have an interesting history. This small state has had an oversized share of the shaving products market in the USA.

That’s true. The Williams Soap Company was the first national soap manufacturer. It was founded in Glastonbury. Their soap was used for shaving but you old timers may better remember their most famous product, Williams Electro Shave. Very popular in the 50’s and 60’s. Jay

My first razors were infrequently used in the late 70s, daily several years later at my first office job. I do recall the Electro Shave brand, though I never used it much.
