Schick was founded in 1926 by Jacob Schick as the Magazine Repeating Razor Company. That same year, Schick introduced its highly successfulsingle bladesafety razor system, that stored twenty blades in a steel injector. Schick sold the company in 1928 to start another unrelated company bearing his name which marketed his newly invented electric shavers. On July 1, 2015, Energizer split into two companies with Schick falling under Edgewell Personal Care. While second in sales to Gillette globally, Schick is the top selling brand of safety razors and blades in Japan. The Schick brand is used in North America, Australia, Asia and Russia. In Europe, Edgewell sells the same products under the Wilkinson Sword brand. Schick also markets shaving gels.
