ELECTRIC SAFETY RAZOR, 1933

Wet Electric safety razor operating on a 4.5 Volt battery in a case that is missing. Working by a motor in the handle that moves the blade slightly from side to side, it is similar to others of this type which tend to vibrate during use and are powered by AC mains, like the popular TARK version which had its own Patent from 1930, this TARK version however required its own single sided blade, other blades would not fit. The Siemens version took the advantage and could operate on standard double-sided blades.
