Men's shaving machines
A perfectly shaved face remains a symbol of male attractiveness. To keep it in good shape, you should use a shaving razor. There are many models in the modern world, thanks to which it will not be difficult to cope with the task at hand. Let's consider the most popular brands of men's machine tools in more detail.
History
The men's shaving machine has a long history. The first models became available to citizens in the 60s of the 18th century. The product was developed by a French inventor named Jean-Jacques Perret. His razor had a special metal strip. There was a significant drawback when working. The blades moved in a limited vertical position.
In the early 19th century, Jean-Jacques Perret was improved upon by William S. Henson. The cutting element was attached to the handle. Also, the razor had a significant drawback. The blades were disposable.
In addition, after each procedure, it was required to clean and sharpen them.
Brothers Frederick and Otto Kampfe continued to work in this area. They released an improved version of the Hensen razor in the late 19th century. The product did not differ in popularity either. The reason was also the need for constant sharpening of the blades.
At the beginning of the new XX century, the new King Camp Gillett razor was released. Replaceable blades did not need to be sharpened. The inventor created a thin strip of sharpened steel. It was attached to the handle at a certain angle.
If the blade became dull, it was simply removed by unscrewing it from the handle, screwing in a new one.
Gillett built his first machine over a 6-year period. The inventor was helped by his friend, William Nickerson, who became the developer of the procedure for sharpening a steel tape. A razor blade was made of it.
At first, Gillett's product was not at all successful. During the first year, only a few people acquired it. This was due to new fashion trends. More and more Englishmen were letting go of their beards.
In order to increase sales, the inventor undertook a clever publicity stunt. He announced publicly that the razor would help trim the beard, making the face attractive. Within a few months, sales were up. Then every year many citizens began to buy products not only in England, but also abroad.
The demand for the products of Gillett's company did not fall even during the First and Second World Wars. This company remains afloat even now, more than 100 years after the release of the first model.
The razor has been modernized. Men try to buy it following fashion trends. Despite the changes in technique, the model with blades that follow the contour of the face remains in demand. Each model is popular.
