2016年8月6日 · They were one of several companies that produced Military Razors during WWII for the US Government . On a cardboard case that I have the razor is called a Clix E-Z- Flow Razor ,they also came in black a Bakelite case. I have two Clix razors one with a hex handle with a pointed end and the other has a fluted handle with a rounded end . Glenn

2014年10月14日 · 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. I typically use a few different handles on mine, but the stock fat Bakelite handle is actually pretty nice, despite its somewhat goofy looks.

2020年5月8日 · Clix was a division of Conrad who supplied razors to many in the 30s and 40s. The Clix Razors, of which I know three configurations, look to mostly appear 1944-47 (blades came earlier).

2009年2月2日 · The Clix and the Simplex are almost clones of the Tech, while the Star military I have is a pin type arrangement. The GEM's are definitely of their own ilk and are actually great razors. Feb 2, 2009

2020年3月7日 · 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.
