Schick was founded in 1926 by Jacob Schick as the Magazine
Repeating Razor Company. In the same year, Schick introduced
its highly successful single-blade safety razor system, which
stored twenty blades in a steel injector. Jacob Schick sold the
company in 1928 and founded another company bearing his
name, in order to market his newly invented electric shavers.

Jacob Schick
(September 16, 1877 – July 3, 1937)

He is called the father of electric razors.

On this day in history, May 30, 1868, the first Decoration Day —
a precursor to Memorial Day — was celebrated.

Originally known as Decoration Day, from early traditions of
decorating graves with flags, flowers and wreaths, Memorial
Day is a day for remembrance to honor those who have died
in service to our country.
