Since 2001, the Schick brand has been collaborating with popular anime to make shaving fun rather than a routine.
And this time, we decided to collaborate with the Kamen Rider series for the first time. Kamen Rider is a hero who celebrated his 50th birthday in 2021 and continues to be loved across generations. This collaboration model was launched with the desire to make shaving time exciting by using a razor that everyone has a special interest in, from “one who used to be a boy” to “a boy of today.” .
In this collaboration, we produced a total of 4 models: No. 1 V3, which boasts high popularity among Showa riders, and Kuuga Agito, which laid the foundation for the world view of Heisei riders. Limited quantities will be sold at drugstores nationwide and Amazon official website.
The color of the rubber and plastic parts of the holder body is created by referring to the materials at the time of the broadcast of each work, and the final color is decided after repeated discussions with the publisher. produced by In addition, Schick’s razor expresses the world view of the Kamen Rider series, not only the razor itself, but also the details of the package and the bonus menko design.
In addition, the two menko that are included as a bonus are thick and have a nostalgic feel and color that you can actually play with. A rare “Kira Menko” will also appear with a probability of 1/10.

≪Other special points≫
Package: Collect all 4 types and arrange them in chronological order for each rider from No. 1 to Agito to create a picture on the back.
Inner package: If you collect and arrange all 4 types, the back side will also be a picture of a collection of famous scenes. In addition, the surface is also close-up with 4 bodies for a powerful tailoring.
Example of store promotion: Showa riders have a retro touch, and Heisei riders have a stylish touch. Also, the point that only Showa riders use the line “Tou!” is also a point.
Menko: It has a firm thickness and pursues quality that you can actually play with. In order to give a retro feel to the back side, we also intentionally lowered the resolution. For each model, there are 8 regular versions (Kamen Rider & Phantom) and 4 Kira versions (Kamen Rider), for a total of 12 types. Each is included in a combination of “regular Kamen Rider and Phantom” or “regular Kamen Rider and Kira Kamen Rider”, and the Kira version appears with a probability of 1/10. Also, for the V3 Phantom, we chose the “razor starfish”, which has a high affinity with Schick products.
<Comment from Schick>
This time, for the first time in the history of Schick, we have released a collaboration model razor with the Kamen Rider series, which is everyone’s hero across generations. The Kamen Rider series will celebrate its 50th anniversary in 2021, and the Schick brand will also celebrate its 60th anniversary in Japan in 2020. We are very happy to be able to deliver these products.
The collaboration products planned by Schick have been highly evaluated by each fan for their quality. For the Kamen Rider series this time, we tried many times to make prototypes, including design, coloring, and bonus noodles, mainly by employees who are fans of Kamen Rider in the past, aiming for perfection that everyone can be satisfied with.
Many Kamen Rider series fans have been watching manga, TV, and movies since they were young. We would like to convey the nostalgic play of menko and how to enjoy safe and comfortable shaving to everyone from such “boys of the past” to “boys of today”. We also hope that this collaboration model razor will be an opportunity for communication between different generations, including fathers and children, and for enjoying daily shaving.
Please look forward to future collaborations.
