Luxury Razors

The oscillating razor is commun these days, but did you know it was invented 66 years ago? In 1933, an inventor created the first safety razor using an oscillating blade connected  to a pair of friction rollers which revolves and causes the whole blade to move sideward with a reciprocating motion, as indicated by arrows in the photograph (click on it to see it full size). The article says that the miniature mowing machine is declared to give an unusually close shave with a minimum of chafing and discomfort. Personnaly, I think that having a razor blade moving side to side against my skin sounds a litlle lethal.

Using the same principal, Gillette created a battery-powered rather than friction-powered razor, the Gillette Fusion Power Battery Powered Shaving System.
