History of Schick
- Founded: 1926
- Founders: Jacob Schick
Colonel Jacob Schick, a US Army officer, invented the Magazine Repeating Razor in 1921 and founded a company to manufacture and sell it. His innovation allowed razors to be loaded with multiple blades that could be changed without removing the razor from the face.
Schick's company grew through the mid-20th century as a significant competitor to Gillette in the American shaving market. The brand's ownership passed through Warner-Lambert, which later merged with Pfizer. Energizer Holdings acquired the Schick-Wilkinson Sword business in 2003. When Energizer divided its battery and personal care businesses, the personal care segment became Edgewell Personal Care in 2015.
